Final Editing

During today's editing session, I put all of the clips in the final order and decided if anything needed extra cutting or if we had cut too much off originally, if so placing the original clip back into the sequence and re-cutting it. One clip we had, where Luke's character (the motocycle character) was taking his jacket off and we had to but it slightly and delete the middle bit to make the pace a bit faster and he was taking too long to remove the jacket, it turned out to look 'jumpy' so i removed the last part. I kept it simple by keeping the first part of the clip and the continuity of the sequence was not interrupted. Furthermore, the sequence was back running smoothly.




I then moved on and focused on the volume of some of the sounds that we were looking at. I mainly focused on volume controls, I needed to work out independently how to turn down the volume of the ambient sound in some places and turn up the volume on the non diegetic sound in some places. Within the premer program, there was a volume controls mixer, which helped me change the volumes of all types of sound at different parts of the sequence. This was good as it meant most of our clip could be non diegetic sound as we wanted but also we could make the ambient sounds obvious to show that we have understood the importance of different types of sounds and what effects they have on the title sequence and the full opening sequence. We wanted test how the volume of sound effected the tension and furthermore the meaning it was representing to the audience.
