Film Review- Edits

 Hey gang!

This is a follow up of my last blog. Camila and I have taken the notes Lyne gave us on our film and applied the changes to the movie. We are so thankful she was able to help us out. It really means a lot, and we would do the same if she needed it, so overall we both feel a lot of gratitude for her feedback.

     Our first edit was our use of a knife in the kitchen and the situation regarding the cake. We decided that out of all the scenes to cut to make the film shorter, Lyne was correct. We didn't need to include all of the cutting and making of the ingredients. We also did not need to see much of the cake after we placed it in the oven. We think that this could add to the mysteriousness of the film, as we have no idea how the oven really never turned off after us assuringly "taking out the cake".

     The next edit made was to the sounds. We decided the addition of another song would add to the ambiance more, and wouldn't leave so much silent space in our film. The last thing we wanted was for the film to not portray the mood we wanted. The addition of the sound effects was made next. We added sounds in places such as the oven beeping, and an alerting sound when the figure is shown. This will also add the the dramatic effects in our film.

     Lastly, we added more shots into our beginning "montage". Luckily nothing had to be rerecorded, and we had taken out enough of the clips we didn't need from before with the knife to afford to add about one or two clips. To make this easier without making the film too long though, we cut the clips already in the montage to be shorter, so we could fit the other clips in. This also creates a more disoriented feeling, which can go along with our Thriller genre.

I believe this wraps up our final task for now. Thank you for coming along for the journey!
