In today's lesson, we have continued the editing process. I edited during periods 4 & 5, and also stayed for a couple of hours after school. Now that we have a complete timeline, we have started working on 'fine tuning' the project. This allows us the make sure that the cutting rate is as fast as we want it to be, as well as making editing decisions that are more subtle - such as cutting to the beat of the music.
Some of the editing which we have completed today included the split screen effect (as seen to the right). This is because we were unhappy with the background of the water pouring shot, so have chose to split screen it with a shot of Harri Mulley drinking a normal drink in his kitchen. Furthermore, we have included more fast paced cutting between the two narrative lines, such as the cuts between the band peformance and the close up shot of the clown eye, as seen above.
The other thing that I have started today is the colour correction. I have split this into three sections, band performance, the normal narrative and then the studio narrative. For the band performance, I have slightly increased the contrast, but the main alteration is the increasing the level of black, which gives the band performance a darker, more authentic feel. Furthermore, I have increased the contrast and decreased the brightness in the studio shots. I have not yet started colour correction on the outdoor footage, as this is the main job for tomorrow.
