In todays lesson we focussed solely on the editing of our film. We played about with various effects. On some of the clips we shot ( the bedroom scenes), the lighting was quite bad and wasn't very clear due to the lack of light source. We liked the dark, spooky atmosphere, but the quality of the clip was quite poor. To improve this we changed the colour scheme to black and white. We also edited the bright levels of the clips. This gave a better quality and effect to the scenes. The bright levels made the scene clearer, whilst the black and white effect brought an artistic element to the piece, adding an interesting clasification of night. This occurred more than once and we had to repeatedly adjust the colouring of the clips. Editing the colouring of scenes was easy to do on Final Cut Express. It was only a subtle, simple change but very effective and it looked impressive on the final copy.
