CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

I helped to edit sections of the film today. I edited with Demi working to add the opening credits choosing appropriate font and placing font in the right places where there was plenty of space. We wanted to follow the coneventions of a film opening and we therefore had to make sure to add credits in and use the correct names and roles within the opening. Placing the font in correct positins was also important. In order to expand our choice of fonts we looked on After Effects and not just iMovie.

We also needed to decide on how to edit in the phone call that takes place between India and the emergency phone operator. We decided to place the audio in the clip before she is seen speaking on the phone. To ensure the audience could understand that India had made the call I suggested we place the font "dialling 999..." at the bottom corner of the screen. I suggested that the tone of the phone dialling could be heard while "dialling 999" was seen to flash on and off the screen. We did this section on iMovie placing in layers of the words that would come in consecutavely to give off this sense of flashing on and off the screen.
