Final film-'The Transition'

Final day of editing

The whole editing process was easy as I found coping with the imovie programme basic as I had experience with using it from last year. while Ellis found music e.g. sound effects and a backing track I put the sequence together assembling in a way so the continuity flowed which I think was effective. I am happy with my camera work as I feel it works well in explaining the story and helping the audience understand the characters. After I pieced together the sequence we had to produce voiceovers from luke and ben for when the panning motorbike which helped carry on the sequence in which i filmed.

SFX and Soundtrack

We managed to to find a suitable website of which we were able to download sound effects and music which was not copyrighted. This website was freesfx.co.uk, it allowed us to browse and download many sound clips to use as a non digetic soundtrack and background effects such as gunshots. We decided to use an orchestral soundtrack behind the clip because we found it was most efective at building suspense which is what we was aiming for.

Script for voiceover

Credits voicever- Ben: your fucking life depends on this, this will end badly!

Luke: I've never let you down before, why will I start now?

Voiceover Ben: In this buisness you learn the hard way, fuck u and you've seen what happens... *sigh* it's a lesson in life.

ben: Remember, we're in a war right now, if you lose the briefcase, you're dead.

Voiceover- Luke: don't threaten me boss, remember where I came from, I could snap you like a twig'

Ben- All i'm saying is, you better get hat fucking briefcase to the depo sharpish,

Voiceover- Luke: I can do this,

Third Day Filming

On the 15/12/10 we filmed the motorbike scene once again however this time we filmed it at night as we saw another group successfully film a car at night and so we thought that if we were to film our scene again but at night then it would add more effect and atmosphere to the film. the reason we had to film the motorbike scene again to begin with was because continuity had been disturbed due to the fact that in one clip the motorbike did not have a L plate (learner sticker) attacked to it and in the next shot it did. the reason the sticker had to be put back on was due to a change of location as it was illegal not to have the sticker on the motorbike when on a main road and so when moving the bike to another location we did not realise that we had not taken the L plate off.

We faced a few problems as first it was dark and therefore we had to find a reasonable amount of background light in order to film. another problem was that it was raining and therefore it became difficult to film, however, we had prepared for the eventuality that it would rain and so we had an umbrella on hand which ensured that the the camera or equipment did not get wet. the final problem occurred at 8pm as the camera rewound itself and in fear that we would lose any footage that we had filmed we decided to stop filming and upload the footage as soon as we could.

First day of editing

on our first day of editing we couldn't actually begin to put the film together as we haven't finished filming as we are doing such a complicated task. We deleted loads of footage that we didn't need anymore and watched intentively the footage we needed to use. we discovered some continuity errors such as the motorbike having the 'learner' sticker on one shot, then it being off in another shot. We also discovered that it doesn't look effective in the light and the motorbike needs to go slightly faster to create a powerful atmosphere. we are going to re-do the motorbike shots in the dark and the walking into the building scene which we plan on doing this Sunday.

Problem Encountered While Editing

When uploading and editing film clips we realised that some of the footage had become corrupt. By this i mean the footage had somehow combined itself with other footage and overlapped each other. the two shots that combined was the office scene and the motorbike scene. as the sounds also overlap you hear static when you play the media file.
