Zoe and Charley has just thought about using a method similar to 'Paranormal Activity' ( a film which uses similar horror elements to our film) in the bedroom scene by the usage of time being fast forwarded to show that it is passing quickly and to signify that Ana is asleep. This is because our bedroom scene is extremely fuzzy with a dark contrast to show that it is nighttime, which is why we thought about the comparison to 'Paranormal Activity'. However we are not sure if it is even possible to input this mechanism as we have limited resources but we can certainly try and perhaps we can generate even more ideas for this.   If we use a mixture of fast paced editing in this scene and contrast it against the dream sequence (usage of slow and fast editing) then this will result in the increase of tension and suspension which is exactly what we are looking for. If we end up using this systematic method then we can provide a sense of normality, which contrasts against the abstract and surreal nature of our other scenes. At the end of this lesson we looked at editing effects which we may want to use ( since our cutting out of footage is more or less completed), which included the wave( especially good if we use it to transcend into the dream sequence) and the swirl ( again dream sequence or perhaps we can use it to end the film).
Next lesson we need to do the following, again using delegation:
  • Finish cutting our footage - Zoe , Charley and me
  • Get Hannah to attempt to start the animatic- Charley has uploaded it together but she is not sure how to create an animatic
  • Look at more editing effects and try them out - all of us
  • Get headphones and listen to our footage to see when it is nesscary to blank out sound and when it is appropriate to increase/add level of sound compenents
