editing process of my film

1. CONSTRUCTION OF OUR
FILM EDITING PROCESS
By Marwa Awadh

2. These are the sounds we have recorded with
a boom mic and transferred them onto the
final cut pro program to match the clips we
have filmed
This is the following
clips we have edited,
cut and matched to
make our film flow
throughout.
I slowly started to learn how to edit and
use the program efficiently and start
editing the sound and adding audio to
make our film more interesting for our
audience.

3. This is the program I used in order to edit and
produce our final production film of ‘Hide and Seek’.
I did not know how to use the product but gradually
learnt by teaching myself and asking for help when
stuck on a problem.This meant I learnt new skills
and developed throughout the whole filming
process
This was where I
picked the
sound and also
downloaded and
put into the final
cut pro product.
I downloaded
many sounds
and picked
which one
would be the
most effective
for our film. It
was hard
matching out
the music with
the clips and I
learnt how to
match out the
sound and clips
in order for our
final product to
look
professional.

4. As we had to
redo some of
our parts of
the film as we
accidently had
people and
equipment in
the shot and
we found and
learnt we could
crop and edit
out the shot to
take away the
mistakes and
make our film
still look
professional.
I learnt that
not only could
we crop but
we could
change the
color ad
balance
throughout
the film to fit
it and make it
look better for
the audience.
We could use
many effects
to enhance
the way our
film looked in
the end
production.

5. For some parts of our film I used many
different sound effects to increase and
enhance the tension of the atmosphere
and create suspense drawing our audience
even more in.
There were many different
sound effects I could use and I
chose ones which were
effective for our film

6. I placed each
characters in
different
locations and
put this on the
event library
naming them all
to make it easier
for me to edit
and choose
which clip to use
for our film
I also placed the
sound in different
folders for different
characters making
it easier for me to
pick out which
sound if needed
and if the clip sound
was not effective
enough.
The filming process
did not always turn as
well as we liked and
so I tried different
ways, shots and
angles by taking
retakes in order to
make our film look as
professional as
possible
Before the whole
filming process as
a group we
decided to have
auditions to help
us decide which
characters and
people would be
most effective for
the roles in our
film.

7. The opening of our film was our introduction of “Hide and Seek” me
and Rawan looked at ways to make the opening look interesting and
exciting. Our final product of our introduction is as shown below.We
used these colors as although it is a parody we have many aspects of a
horror film linked in our film.The red splatter as the background
suggests blood making the audience curious as to what will happen
during the film
We changed the ink color
to ‘red’ in order to show
the audience and give
them a sense of danger
and thrill.
We made the background white
in order for the red to stand out
and the middle word a blackish
grey color to suggest darkness
and evil around the area.

8. The background of our ending credit scene is
red in order to link back to our opening
introduction of our film and also give a sense
of danger still lurking amongst them, this
gives the audience a satisfying ending to our
final product.
I also edited in the credits
and gave the name of
“MHRA” Productions as our
own film company. Giving
the audience an idea of what
company were from and all
the information
I put the title
of our film in
the middle
and the
biggest
thing that
stood out to
represent
and our film.
I also put the
actors in which
starred in our
film so the
audience know
and regard
them. I also
put them as a
thanks as they
were one of
the main
things we
needed in
order to make
our film better
and
interesting.
I also wrote in the credits of who was involved in the
film making the directing, editing, script writing,
product designer, product of photography and the
casting.

9. I looked at the
opening credits
and ending
credits and
picked out ones
that would most
effective for our
film.As shown in
the PowerPoint's
above of which
ones I picked and
why.
I used this
for the
ending
credits but
changed the
color to red
in order to
link more
into our
film.Whilst
also
pointing out
the
members of
my group
and the
casting and
actors of our
film.

10. I used
different
video effects
in order to
make our film
look more
professional
and link to our
parody genre .
I looked at the
basics, blurs,
distortion,
keying, light,
look, stylize
and tiling as
well as the
audio.
