Post Production

Editing

We had most of the editing done but unfortunately it was done in Final Cut, which we found out shouldn't be used so all of the team went to Jennison to decide our options. We talked to Moritz through Skype because he was in Luxembourg at the time. 

We talked to Steve Kelly and he said that he was going to allow us to use Final Cut since we had already done most of the editing.

So all we needed to do was finishing up and add the final touches to the overlays and edit scene 3. We used my shooting script as a guideline and helped Moritz by giving him advice on each sequence.

Once we had put all the scenes together it was too long!!! It came to about 3:38 seconds so we re-watched it and all discussed what scenes we didn't need. I noticed something the others didn't...it was a massive continuity error...Tom didn't have his pack pack in any of the scenes apart from the one where he takes the money from the cash machine so we could take it out. It's quite amusing but it seems that most of our film/editing problems can be solved with overlays, which will just add nicely to the over all 'game' style.

Together we lengthened parts that needed to be longer and shortened shots that weren't helping with the storytelling.

Once we had finished the editing it came to around 3:08 and we just didn't know what else to cut out so we just left it at that.

Harry put in the overlays he had created in After Effects and used my speech overlays as guidelines for the 'speaking' selection parts.


We were pleased with the film after Harry had put in the overlays but when the video came out it was even further over the time limit, the annoying was that it had a black screen at the end for a good few seconds.

We added the music in afterwards, Harry found a free song called Airbrushed By anamanaguchi, released in 2010 for public use.
