Editing ideas

one idea was to blur the clips of 'the fight' so that it looked as if it was a vision of someone memory thinking back as if they have seen it, but they cant quite get to grips of what they are seeing. this distinction between the 'flash back' and the normal shots makes it clear which one is which. this is a picture of the internet that we found that gave us this inspiration.

on the rest of the clips we sharpened up the images, this makes the the distinction of whats happening in the present and whats happening int the past in the 'flash back' more defined. by using a sharpening tool it gave each shot a more digital look, and made it some what jutter as the camera moved about. this image is an example of what this effect does.

Feedback from our roughcut

Pros -
Good use of sound - diegetic and non diegetic
Good graphics - the animation at the begining
Credits are good and fit in well
Good use of fade outs
Good variety of shot types
Editing in general fits well with sound
The title at the end is well presented
The flash transitions flow well

Cons - 
Fairly hard to follow
One clip is out of focus
Costumes could be better


Own feedback - aims-
Music wasn't suitable in some areas - redo and make some more music
First title maybe keep on screen for longer
Need to blur out Abbies face in all the scenes not just on one of them
Shots in the bathroom - try and make them zoom in and out - move about more!!
Shots upon shots - fading into each other
Mels face is too comical - cut it a lot shorter
Maybe do voice over for abis bit

Make up

Zoe
over the top dressy, but tear marks and makeup down her face

Mel
little to none as she does not want to stand out whilst spying but blend in.

Abi
normal makeup

Costumes

Abbie

Locations

We're hoping to use a cellar as our main location for Mel to be living and planning in

locations

when choosing a location to shoot a film it need to be perfect, especially for a thriller film to get the mood right, otherwise it wont capture the right message. initial thoughts:

• haunted houses (train station, 
• villages (sawston, fulbourn, histon)
• towns (cambridge, newmarket)
• citys (london)
• night time(any where)
• day time(anywhere) 
• dawn(anywhere)
• forest (fulbourn of long road) 
• lakes (behind abis house & in the fulbourn forest)
• school (long road)
• garden (any of our gardens) 
• field (loads of feilds)
• farm (fulbourn)
• cave (magogmagog hills chalk cave)
• river (granchester medows) 

ABI HAS A CELLAR - POSSIBLY USE THAT LOCATION FOR WHERE MEL IS - DARK AND OLD, CREEPY ATMOSPHERE AND THE GIRLS MAY BE VISITING GRAVEYARD
