River Editing Progress


0.1 - This is the first edit I created with the footage we shot on our first shooting day. this was before external sound was added and before colour correction was integrated into each shot.

0.2 - This second edit added external sound, colour correction and foley sound that was recorded e.g footsteps. These footsteps turned out to be out of sync and had to be changed in a later revision. The footsteps are also too loud and they don't sound like they are happening in world. I changed the river title sequence to appear differently and changed the timing of each letter's appearance.

0.3 - This edit added a new scene that was placed before the other scenes I had edited up to this point.
This scene does not include the sound effects that should play during the ellipsis. The footstep sync was not fixed in this edit.



0.4 - This edit added a lot of external audio that was missing. Sound effects were added to the ellipsis.

0.5 - This edit included a lot of new footage, because of this certain shots drag out for a lot longer than needed. Certain shots don't have letter boxing and colour correction and most of the shots don't have sound as the external sound was not recorded. This edit runs on for too long and I think I can make it shorter.
0.6 - This edit is almost complete as it incorporates almost all of the shots and audio that we recorded.  the major problem with this edit is that the audio we recorded does not sound great, it matches up with the video but does not sound convincing nor does it sound like it was recorded outside. This led us to completely re-recording the audio. For the shot with Kevin inside the house, we had to use a plugin in Final Cut to reduce the noise grain of the image, this led to a cleaner looking scene. I added an effect to the beginning of the film which created a disorenitng image. I had to re edit this to get the audio right.

Recording Audio

Image
Most of the audio in River was unusable, this was due to the immense wind speed on certain days. This meant that we had to go through each scene and record dubs of the lines spoken by each character. This process didn't take up too much time but it was tedious, we had written down each line that needed to be recorded and we asked our actors to say the line in time with the footage of the scenes. This recording session worked out really well as our actors delivered accurate responses that stayed true to the character's original intentions. We used a field recorder microphone on a tripod to capture the audio. We wrapped a tea towel around the mic to reduce any wind and background noise. Voices turned out to be clear and understandable. All that is left to do is to add these recordings back into the film.

Arrival Movie Poster Inspiration

Image
To attract audiences to watch your film, many marketing practices are used to promote the film. To market our film, we are creating a poster that will show what the film will involve whilst also looking attractive and atmospheric. This is the poster for the film arrival. This film is about the arrival of aliens to earth and the process of asking the question "What is your purpose here?" The film is a Sci-Fi Thriller and I think this poster does a great job at representing the general atmosphere of the film. The poster takes place in the location that most of the film is set in. The imagery of the location shows the alien spaceship in the centre with a helicopter flying towards the spaceship. By using the "Z rule" we can see that the poster shows all of it's most important information and imagery in accordance to this rule. The actor's names appear at the top and this allows the viewer to see who is in the film first before they read the rest of the poste...
