Editing

Coming back after the Easter break Hannah, Billy and myself started to get a rough cut of the film together. We already had a good idea of what we want the film to look like and what the structure of the edit would be as we had a clear image while filming. This made it easier for us to quickly get shots onto the timeline in an order for us to start fine cutting and focusing on some effects and leaving us with more time to figure out the visual effects and green screen. The first manipulation to the edit we started on was reversing one of the shots of 'pig head' walking through the window, so that he leaves through the window backwards while keeping eye contact with the camera as we felt his eye contact is one of the creepiest parts of our film. 

Billy started messing around with overlaying some shots then making the duplicated clip slightly transparent and a little bit off time with the original clip so that it creates this weird effect as if someone is watching it while slightly dazed. 

The three of us really liked this change to the film and decided to add it to a couple more clips for even more of a uneasy feeling while watching it. We also played around with some music to see what would suit the genre of the film and we found quite a creepy low humming atmospheric sound with some occassional high pitched screeches which I thought went with our film really well, especially when the audience first see's pig head and the creepy cut-a-ways of the bloody deer head and blood splattering the painting on the wall. It really added to the unease and uncanny theme we have been trying to achieve.
