Editing

In post production of our film, we used iMovie to edit our footage to create our final product. The editing stage of our film took 3 months from the final day of filming. 

We started by creating a montage of the man in the dungeon as per our storyboard.  After forming, precision cutting and colour correcting this, we were able to start developing our soundtrack as we could see the mood we wanted to create throughout our final piece. 

After this we added the establishing shots at the start of the film, and then we added the opening credits with the actors names.  We had some really good raw material here including the diegetic sound and i planned the credits to match with this - Guilherme's name comes up with the sound of a passing car. 


When choosing footage to use, we selected and highligted sections of the footage to insert and precision cut ready for the final film. This also helped us later on in production when matching with the soundtrack as we could see general themes throughout the footagewithout playing the whole film.
Nearer to the end of production we started to add the sound, we added the soundtrack created my Estelle on Garage band as well as some sounds we had recorded in advance and some computer produced sound effects.  This created the tone of our film, and really brought the piece together.
The final stage of production was to add the production company.  We extracted this from a sepererate film to be used at the beginning of our own.  We chose hammer films after extensive research into production companies and which would be suitable to represent our film.
