Editing - Day 4

When: Thursday 15th January
What: Scene 6
Who: Dan, Robbie & Tilly

Evaluation:

On this day we started off editing the reveal scene, as the feedback we got from our rough cut for this shot suggested that we should crop it slightly in order to make it look more effect. Also we had to make adjustments on the shot that shows Hermit by himself in the cinema as the original shot was criticised for being to long. Finally we had to try and improve the last shot in our film which is the crane shot of Hermit sat in the park as there was a few minor problems that was identified during the rough cut feedback.

This image shows us cropping the height of this shot so that the ceiling is not visable. This was easy to achieve as it was just the matter of cropping it down to the appropriate length.

Once we had finished cropping this shot, we then had to begin shortening the rest of the shots that feature in this scene so that our film was a maximum of 5 minutes long including our ident, title and credits. The purpose of this was to shorten the shots and to show the difference between Hermits mornings.

Here are just a few examples of the differences between the first shot with Hermit and his friends and the shots without his friends.

Now that we finished that part of the short film, we decided to edit the last scene of Life of Hermit. This scene wasn't very difficult to edit as we already knew the timing of where to cut each shot as we already planned each timing when we filmed this scene. At the end of this scene, we added a fade out so when it comes to adding the credits, this shot will fade at the right point when the credits role.

Here is the last shot of  Life of  Hermit.

Now that we finished editing all the scenes, we are now ready to move onto the narration, titles and credits for Life of Hermit.
