 3RD DAY EDITING -  SOUND AND MUSIC


The film was instructed to have no dialogue, so I had to find the right music and sound effects to create diegetic and non diegetic sound so the film wouldn't be silent. In the beginning I was able to find birds chirping which was completely diegetic and gave the film a more grunge feel. While the victim was running her footsteps were used which gave the film more realism. Lastly the sound that came from the killer grabbing the metal crate was natural aswell. 

 After using purely diegetic sounds, I found gun shot sound effects to use at the end of the film when the killer shoots at the victim. Also I had to add a sound effect for the last transition which was like an ethereal glitch sound that just sounded cool so I added it to the film. 


The last thing I did was find audio that matched the vibe of the film. The song that came to my head was My Man from Billie Holiday. Her old school love story on her man and her saying "it costs me life" in the beginning matched the exact scenario of the film. A man who the victim thought loved her was the same one to take her life. This song is also has a very mellow tone and gives the film an eerie effect to it. 

After all of that, the sound part was finally complete.

Editing: CLIP LENGTH

 One of the things that re surfaced my brain while editing was the effect of clip length. Earlier in the year we learned how clip length can effect the audiences feelings. Longer clips were more prosperous and calm whereas shorter clips created a sense of anxiety.  After remembering this I ensured that the ending where the main character realizes her state of distress would have shorter clips combined into a montage of her trying to escape. I did this by using straight cuts and short clips with changes of perspective. As stated previously the scenes were shot repetitively in different angles for me to choose while editing. But rather than choosing I just incorporated almost all of them to create a state of anxiety within the audience. This was the end product.... Implementing the shot of the "Mother" tapping her fingers on the table and then a dutch angle view of the clock symbolizes that the main character is running out of time. This is shown in the clip right after when sh...

 FINALE - SUMMARY Overall the process of making a film was interesting. We began with a plan that was abruptly changed constantly throughout the film process. My teams creative nature helped us achieve the end goal of a spectacular film in an efficient amount of time. As an actor and editor of the film that didn't limit my role on the team. I had my fair share of participating in everyones role which helped bring the ideal film come to life. But when I had my teams back they had mine. The director made sure everything was completed on time whereas the cinematographer helped by recording hard chess scenes and bringing her vibrant ideas. This collaborative effort helped us develop a great film with deep meaning. Our film was originally going to be about a competition for a job position but that changed into a horror/drama on a woman being killed by her lover. As the chess game goes on the victim keeps making bad moves referencing back to her bad decisions in real life.  The film...
