The document summarizes changes made to a film project. It describes adding a time lapse shot to the middle section to indicate passage of time and address lighting continuity issues. It also details altering the ending by extending the background piano music. Problems encountered like rain ruining cloud footage or sizing issues were addressed through multiple takes and editing techniques.

1. Appleby Street Final Draft
The changes

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
