Day five of editing


 We began the day looking at Bert’s idea for the credit’s placement when James walks down the street. He placed the credits on the ground and James would walk over them. While the effect was good, we all agreed that it wouldn’t suit the style of the video. Bert also did another effect the shot that reveals our title card starts out on a statue of Maria and Jesus and then tilts to a church window. Bert tracked the title on the window. Meaning that the text stays in one position no matter how the camera moves. This looked amazing we added a still frame as the camera started to shake and then a fade to black while the text would still be visible. Because the tile card is placed Infront of a church. window and the font is really stylized we added strong contour.  
 
Our teacher noted that the shoot where James walks down the street takes up to much time. So, we tried a very stylized of editing and only displayed the moments when he enters the frame, when he is at the middle of the road and when he is shortly Infront of the camera. This not only made the sequence quicker but also gave us a lot of extra time. I therefore suggested to add the bit with the dog in the same style. We only used a wide shot and show how James and the dogwalker entre the farm, how they meet and how they basically leave the frame again. This worked out great! The stylized way of editing we used for these scenes really highlighted the style we were going for. The bit of James walking down the street would make him seem scary while the dog bit would offer some comic relive. Later on I then had to adjust the tiles again as they were completely misplaced because of our reedit.

I wrapped up the day working a bit on the sound design. I added a scream when the victim first sees the killer. Earlier we discussed to use the techno beat first as a diegetic soundtrack wich would then switch to a non diegetic soundtrack. This worked great especially with this more stylized edit. But the soundtrack still needed to end once we got to the church so i tried a few different thing, then after looking at the scene with my teacher I decided to let the music fade out quickly during the esthablishing shot of the church.
