Editing

Once we had the majority of our footage, we started editing our rushes. Using avid software we started peicing our footage together by shortening clips and slotting them in. As everyone in our group is new to AVID we couldn't be extremely fast, so it takes a lot longer than we had originally expected. After what we thought was all the clips put together we realised it was under two minutes long which is quite short for an opening and decided to make it longer, as most opening title sequences weall analysed were between 3 and 6 minutes long. Also because the shots were filmed at different times of day and we did not have much lighting equipment, all of our shots were different shades and colours of light. Therefore we decided to put an effect over all of the effects to make it flow better, and look well put together and effective. Some needed to be brightened and some needed to be darkened, as we wanted it fairly dark to create the horror tension although light enough to see the scenery and characters. 

Our film is called horreum and instead of writing this in text we decided to have the murder, walking away from newspaper clippings spelling it out. After this shot we want to change the music and make it more upbeat, showing more the equilibrium stage of the film and where everything is happy and good. This is a key part of horror films because it makes it more realistic to the audience as then when their life is good, it could suddenly go bad like this. We still need to develop the audio, because the music is a key element in our production and we wanted to make sure we made the right decision when choosing it.
