Editing

I used Adobe premier elements to edit my film, because it is easy to use but still makes the film look professional. I started editing on Thursday 11th February. I cut out all the scenes that went wrong first. I deleted the first run through of the dance we did because we forgot some of the moves and were out of time with each other. I then worked on putting the different scenes together, making sure they were in the right order, and they all flowed together and nothing important had been cut out. After making sure the sound and lighting was right, I worked on the title. My original idea was to have a red background dripping down the screen like blood, with black writing fading in over the top. But I couldn't find the right kind of background. I then decided on a green background that I found on Premier Elements, but it said 'Episode One' at the bottom. That gave me an idea to change the title of the film opening. I was going to use this idea but when I tried writing over with my original title 'Disturbia' in a glowing red and white writing on a plain black background (after I deleted the green one), I decided I liked this title better, because it sounded and looked more sinister and creepy, which would match the idea I'd had for the movie. I then decided to change where the title was because I preferred it appearing straight after the dance and the scream being at the end of the film. I had to make some changes to the storyboard after this.
