second editing session

In Tuesday's lesson I edited our preliminary task for the second time. Whilst editing I became very critical and manage to point a few limitations. For example the lighting we used was too bright for the thriller genre and so I adjusted the brightness and contrast for each shot. This was so that dark and unsettling mood is instilled within the viewer. Also all though nothing was wrong with the last scene I slowed the pace down dramatically to get the effect of shock and suspense within the viewer. You identify with the character and feel scared and confused when the discovery of the painting is found.
Lastly I had to remove one shot so in order to make the film as close to the time limit as possible. In Friday's editing session I aim to shorten the length of the film a bit more and make lasting changes to the titles and transitions. By next lesson my preliminary task should be finished and for the Main task informed all actors and give them their scripts. Whilst continuing to update my website simulation.
