EDITING DIARY

This is 2 of the group in the editing room, when editing the final film.
We spent alot of time editing as it wasnt something any of us had done before. We used a program called Pinaccle to upload edit and create the movie.
At first none of us knew how to use it but after the preliminary task and after trying out a few bits we started to understand it better.
We then began to use fades in our work and knew how to slow down the scene or fasten it up. These teqniques will help us to get a better grade over all because it makes the thriller more interesting.
When editing we took it in turns to be in control although all contributed our ideas.  We found that just lesson time alone wasnt enough to do all that we needed to so we started coming into the editing room in our free periods, and staying after school to complete what we had too.

Overall I think we did some really good editing in our film 'Identity' and am really proud of the outcome.

Initial title idea's

Our film is a thriller and we want the title to highlight the fact that its a thriller film. We also want our title to be unique and noticable as soon as you hear the name.

There are four idea that we could use for our title.
 'Basement' is an iconic name, it has a one word feel about it which makes it more dramatic. This also is a title that makes the audience think questions ' what is in the basement?' this keeps the viewers intrigued to keep watching. This title fits in with our thriller because the basement is the way to escape if we was to continue the film.

'Identity' is another idea which has a one word feel about. This psychological and makes the audience think and use your brain to understand the movie. This links in with out film as th character 'Pearce's' identity is taken from him as he becomes possessed like the main character 'the girl'.

Sprit is a great title as the word suggest spooky,scary stuff and a sprit is the core of your soul. This link in with our thriller because again both 'peacre's' and 'the girl' have a awful sprit.

Getaway is different title to the other suggestions, when you think of getaway audience will immediately understand of an escape is going to happen in the film. The character 'james' needs to escape from the house to secure his life as his friend has also be possessed by 'the girl'. This links nicely to what would happen after the opening two minutes as the film progresses.
