Appleby Street Final Draft
The changes
Changes we made



 We changed the middle section of our film, adding a new
  clip were there was previously a missing scene.
 And we have changed the ending, as we have altered
  the sound, now adding in background music of the
  piano.
Why we changed the middle clip

 We altered the middle clip because the flow of the film
  contained a continuity error, as the lighting difference
  was too contrasting from one scene to another. From
  going from the two characters being in a relatively light
  setting to drastic changes of light, becoming way too
  dark for the time passage of the film.
 We have changed this clip so that there is an additional
  clip of a ‘Time lapse’ shot, indicating an advance in
  time, displayed in terms of the light progression getting
  gradually darker.
 We also added a soundtrack of a loud thunder noise to
  fit in with the sky image and the drastic weather change.
The ‘Time lapse’ shot


 We filmed a clip from out of a window up towards the
  sky, filming the clouds, which lasted for roughly an hour
  long.
 I then edited the footage on ‘Final Cut Pro’ by adjusting
  the ‘motion’ of the clip to 30002%, meaning the hour
  long clip would be sized down into 12 seconds worth of
  footage.
 This obtained the effect that time had passed, enabling
  us the ‘Time lapse’ shot, something else I have learnt
  through the progress of this product.
Problems that arose and how we
avoided them

 The first couple of times I tried filming the cloud footage
  it had started to rain at some point during the
  footage, meaning we could not use the footage as this
  would be a continuity error. And so, I had to re-film the
  clip 3 times before finally getting the effect I had
  planned.
 Also, the clip was initially not big enough for the film as I
  had filmed it vertically, meaning I had to zoom into the
  sky when editing on ‘Final Cut Pro’ so that the image
  would fit in with the rest of the film.
Sound


 It was not initially long enough to create enough
  suspense in our film.
 We changed this, so that there was a significant amount
  of film which involved the soundtrack, gaining the
  required suspense.
 Also, in changing this, the music was now in fitting with
  the images of the film, as the progressive mood in the
  sound now matched the progressive mood displayed in
  the images.
Sound: How we changed it



 We made the clip, which had started at about 12
  seconds long, to soundtrack lasting 30 seconds.
 We done this using ‘Final Cut Pro’, by copying and
  pasting the piano sound and using it as a sequence that
  lasted longer.
 We then altered the level of noise from the music, so
  that the characters dialogue could be heard clearer.
Sound: Problems



 When copying and pasting the piano music, the music
  kept pausing and restarting. To get over this
  problem, we used the ‘cut’ on the toolbar of ‘Final Cut
  Pro’ at the start and end of each music piano clip and
  joined the sounds together to create a music sequence
  that flowed well and was in fitting with our footage.
