Section 10- Log Sheets and Edit Decision List and Diary

Edit Decision List
We first captured all the recorded clips we wanted in our film from the tape to the PC, then using the recorded clips we put them into chronological order and played it through to see how it went, once we decided the order in was in was ok, we started editing in the order start to end, we added just a few transitions but our main editing purposes were to change and tweak the audio but also add our own music as well as keeping the natural sounds, we also had to crop a few shots and shorten them also.

Our main concern was in our original first finishedfilm the actual body bag being dropped over the bridge didn't look like it was human size, so we cut the whole dropping section, then instead have a close up reaction shot of the boy on the embankment then quickly changed shot to just see the bag creating the splash into the stream, the outcome was much better.


DIARY

Saturday 11th December 2010 - Filming commences on location at The Dingle, Appleton, Warrington. Approximately 3 hours filming in fine weather with no major problems.

Thursday 19th December 2010 - Capturing begins in edit suite. However all is not captured and is put forward to the new year.

Tuesday 4th January 2011 - Capturing re-starts and all footage is captured onto the computer and imported into edit suite. Also the editing and putting together of the footage begins. Here is the full of our induvidual clips.

Wednesday 5th January 2011 - Before editing takes hold, we made and produced some logos and titles for our film. Such as browsing fonts for E Block Productions, and a suitable font for the title of our production, Perception. The font we chose looked quite sinister and slashed, foreshadowing the events to come later in the production.

 Friday 7th January - Wednesday 12th January 2011 - Editing process, and the production is put together. Transitions are used, such as a white flash, symbolising a flashback of sort, possibly foreshadowing something to come.

Monday 10th January - Wednesday 12th January 2011 - Also the typography choices for general type, such as the credits, we used a simple, professional sans serif typeface, with a slight mysterious/western looking feel to it. This added to the feel of the production. Here is us searching for the right one:

Wednesday 12th January 2011 - Editing process is finish and production is ready to be rendered out as a different file format. Here is it playing.
