Post Production

What have we learned from the audience feedback - After everyone viewed our production we got class feedback that was positive and constructive, this allowed us to see what we have to do to improve our film and filming techniques. we found out that we should include more genre based filming styles should be included in our film. we also learnt that we have to use more editing styles that also link to the genre we have chosen for example use more dramatic and quick editing styles such as cuts fades and pace cutting. i feel that by using the feedback giving by our peers that this will help us improve our filming and production techniques.

What editing decisions were made - In the editing process we made many different decisions to improve our production this included adding different styles of sound such as non diegetic, by using this type of sound we managed to gain more tense and effective moments in our film. one of the main reasons for using non diegetic sound is because we knew that it plays a huge part in horror films to make a scary sense more dramatic and on edge. another editing decision we made was the cuts and fades between each sequences of footage. for example in our previous production we used a zoom in cut into the antagonist's face to create a jump sense that that audince wouldnt expect, but the element that we would change is the non diegetic music when the cut happened didn't mix well with the type of cut it was which did have the big jump effect we were looking for due to the feedback we got from our class.

What particular editing tools where used and to what effect - there was many editing tools used in the editing software that was premier elements 10, firsts we used the zoom in  feature to jump to a close up of the antagonists face. another editing tool we used was adding text to the opening scene that shows the audience the people staring in the film also we used text at the end of the production to show the film name. Another editing tool we used was the cutting the trimming the audio into the right places as we had some difficulty with the audio in our last production but now knowing how to fix it due to the cutting tool in the software this problem won't happen again. overall this editing software allowed us to use a variety of different tools to enhance and improve our performance in a professional way, this we know we can carry through our knowledge of this software to our next filming production and now we know what not to do our next film will be edited in a more professional and better way.

How did the post production process enhance the overall production - in the post production stages we effectively changed our clips into a short opening to our film. we done this by editing our footage carefully and chronologically so that the end result was seen in a fluent and smooth flowing way. once our production was put together and we were all happy with it as a group we the distributed it on youtube so that it can be viewed publicly.
