- As Chloe had already saved the clips onto her memory stick this saved time in the lesson so all we had to do was import them onto our computer. However the computer we were working on turned out to be slow so this ended up taking a whole lesson.
Wednesday 25th January
- After having them imported we went through each clip choosing the ones we wanted to include and deleting the unnecessary ones. We then cut down each clip in order and renamed them 'clip 1', 'clip 2' etc so that it would be easier for us to recognise them.
Friday 27th January
- We continued to cut clips down as it was a slower process than anticipated due to the computer being slower than expected. We also rendered them as we went along so that we could watch them back.
Monday 30th January
- After putting all the clips into order we realised it was already too long especially as we had more clips to add in when we filmed the first part, therefore we had to cut out even more parts that were not needed. We also researched music that would match our theme and chose a thriller piece which we imported from YouTube and cut down to have playing throughout the shots. We also added in a 'twig snap' effect so that it could be heard better.
Tuesday 31st January
- Edit check in with Ms Mallet - 'add in dip to black transitions, title screens and opening credits. Make the dialogue louder and music quieter, can't hear what she is saying. I like the music.'
- In response to our teacher's feedback we started to add fade to black transitions between shots after finding out how to do this.
Friday 3rd February
- After filming the rest of the shots which were to be placed at the beginning, we imported them onto the computer and cut them down and placing them in order at the beginning of the sequence.
Monday 6th February
- We then added in transitions such as fade to black as well as testing fade to white to see what would match the scene in the kidnapper's shots. We decided fade to black was more effective and set quite a slow pace. In the end shots we agreed on simple cuts to set a quicker pace.
- We also did more research on music looking at websites such as YouTube and Orange Sounds to find one that would fit better and eventually found a thriller piece which we both agreed on.
Wednesday 8th February
- During this lesson we added in opening credits and decided where to put them to make it look professional, after learning how to achieve this. We also tested out different fonts and eventually agreed on a white text in a handwriting-type font.
Friday 10th February
- This was our final lesson where the final outcome was due so we used our time effectively to add in changes and parts we had not yet done. One of these included the title of 'Dear Diary' at the end, however as we had already learnt how to do this it was an easy process where we only had to decide on the font. Once achieving this, we watched it through multiple times checking it was how we wanted before exporting it.
