1. Post-Production

2. Here, these are all the clips I’ve recorded. I decided not to rename the files as although it would help tremendously in ordering the film, I don’t have enough time spare to be able to rename them as I must focus on getting this first draft done for the date I set for myself. However, what I did do was separate the footage that I knew wasn’t going to make it into the product into a separate folder so then I didn’t waste time with footage I wasn’t going to use. If I didn’t complete the project’s first draft for the deadline I set myself, I wouldn’t be able to check over it as thoroughly as I would have wanted too as otherwise there would’ve been more areas that needed immediate improvement which I didn’t need feedback on as I am already aware of these issues. Moreover, with the feedback, I want to have feedback which I didn’t know/ didn’t take under consideration so then I can make the product as high-quality as possible.

3. Here, to put the clips into the timeline, I simply dragged the clips to where I wanted them to go. Furthermore, to split the clips, I clicked the orange scissors icon that is on the timeline which splits the clip directly in which I can delete whatever I’d like by pressing right on the mouse or ctrl+B on the clip I’d like to delete and hovering over the delete option. This tool allowed me to cut out all the dead space and increase the structure and flow of the short horror film. If I didn’t use this tool, the overall quality of the product would have drastically reduced as there would be a lot of awkward pauses in between scenes and would ruin the smooth flow I aim to achieve.

4. Here, I decided to raise the brightness of the nightmare sequences so then it is very visible whilst having darkened under tones. This increases the quality of the short horror film as it means that scenes can still be dark but have visibility which will engage my target audience since they wouldn’t want to watch something if it was too dark to make out anything. To do this, I double clicked on the clip I wanted to be effected, then go to the ‘edit’ section which gives a host of options, then I clicked on the tone, and adjusted it accordingly. Furthermore, I experimented with different hues of colour so then I could represent the nightmare sequences in the best quality I could. In addition, this allowed me to look at the effects part of the editing software which showcased a black and white filter which I decided to use as it accurately represented the demonic character.

5. Here, I experimented with different transitions for my text however I believe they would’ve taken away from the final product, so I deleted them and eventually decided on a text specific transition that made it more seamless. To do this, I double clicked the text bar, went to the animation section, dragged the specific animation I wanted onto the text bar on the timeline and adjust it by moving the white dots to where I wanted the text to be. In addition, I experimented with how long I wanted the transitions to be and, in the end, having it go across the full text made the product more professional. It also improved the flow and seamlessness of the product as if I didn’t do this, the text would just pop up out of nowhere which would make the product look very amateur which goes against all my aims for this project. This also allowed the text to not feel out of place along with the fact that it made the opening credits more professional.

6. Here, with the text, to add to the high quality, I added an effect which made it so the text will go up the screen. This added to the quality of the product as rather than the text just appear and disappear, it resembled a professional movie with the credits. To do this, I dragged the effect onto the timeline and specifically on the text and adjusted how long it would last by dragging the bar in the middle of the text bar to make it longer or shorter. If I didn’t do this, the seamlessness of the product would have been made redundant as the entire product needs to resemble a high quality otherwise any flaws become more apparent.
