To do list:

We still have quite a lot to do in the editing process, particularly when it comes to sound, so we have decided to write a list of things that we still need to do.

• Record voicemail
• Fix audio in college scene - re-film
• Add in phone ringing in some scenes
• Heart monitor failing beep
• Film foley sound
• Put soundtrack over the top

Editing - Laura

During the point of view shot where Sam is getting the frying pan down, we decided we wanted to change the speed slightly of the pan where we then see Amy's face. We thought it was too slow originally as this is the final flashback when there is the final confrontation so we wanted to try to give it a faster pace, yet we could not make it too fast otherwise it may make the audience feel disorientated so we think the speed we have changed it to is a good pace. Above are the two screen shots of us changing this.

When doing the Point of View shot in the ktichen where we have the mid shot of Sam getting the frying pan, then we have a pan as his head turns around to see Amy standing with him, we had a lighting problem. We made sure we checked the white balance, and we were using the natural light in the kitchen similarly to the other ktichen shots, however for some reason it turned out with a slightly green tinge (left in the picture). However we used the lighting effects to change the contrast, to make it look more of a natural colour. This then makes it look slightly red, however this was the best we could get it using the effects (right in the picture). Above are two screen shots of us changing this.

Below are two vlog's that I made whislt filming at the hospital. We find lighting one of the most difficult aspects of mis-en-scene to control and to use in order to create the right mood that we would like to acheive. We had a lot of different types of lighting at the hospital as we could dim the lights, and we also had a spotlight as well as the lighting equipment we got from college.

Continuity Errors - Megan

Whilst editing our film, we have found a major continuity error regarding costume.

When we see Sam come in from college, he removes his hoodie before going upstairs to the bathroom. 

We then see him come downstairs to the fridge, still not wearing a hoodie, whilst he makes his dinner.

However, after preparing a ready meal, we then see Sam put his ready meal in the oven wearing the hoodie. This error has come from filming shots on different days, and has caused us a problem in editing.

To get around this, we either had the option to re-film all the shots in between our flashbacks without the hoodie, or try and get around this issue in editing. We decided that re-filming would take too long to do and would be difficult for us to organise, so instead we have decided to change the order of our shots. Instead of seeing Sam come in from college and head upstairs before coming down to eat, we are going to change the order so that he comes in to the kitchen, and then heads upstairs so that when he is then wearing a hoodie, it is more plausible that me may have simply put it on before finishing his meal.

We realise that this is not ideal, but we are hoping that it will not affect the film overall as it still makes sense in the new order. 

Our Progress So Far - Mark

Here is a video I have compiled of our progress so far and also talking about the character Sam.
