We started by going straight into it and just getting all of the footage onto the computer and just roughly piecing it all together. We then later went back over the match-on-actions and neatened it all up.
Cameron Took over the editing of the visuals because he had the most experience and could manipulate the footage a lot more effectively than the rest of us. Here is a screen shot of us editing the shot with Alive at the bottom of the stairs:
Whilst Cameron quickly just put in as many many shots as possible into the timeline for the film, Deanna looked on the internet for soundtracks to go over the back ground.
Like last year Deanna wanted an effect over the flash back scenes to make it clearly noticable that it was a memory and not set at the present time of the film. There was some dispute and in the end we came to the conclusion of using an effect called Dreamy (which added a fuzzy look to the shot almost like a broken, cant remember all the pieces kind of feeling) and the another effect called Romantic (this just softened up some of the edges and made it even more weird and fuzzy.
After we had applied these we noticed that some of the shots were to bright so I stepped in and came up with some pre-sets that would mess with the lighting and exposure of the shot. In the end I think that the shots looked amazing and gave of the feel of a flashback. These effects would only go over the shots in scene 2 because they were the flashback shots.
Whilst we were editing Charlotte came up with the ident. The original one that we wanted was of a volcano erupting but this proved a challenge so we simplified it.
