Production Log - Post Production

We decided to do our editing at home, as we thought it would be easier to do it there in one go, rather then it sections as we would be forced to at school. Also since we had used my own camera, it seemed to make sense to do the editing at home.

After watching through all the clips we made the decision to abandon some of the shots, firstly as they were not well enough lit, secondly, the film had to be restricted to 2 minutes, meaning we would have to cut down the shots considerably, or lose some less important shots entirely.Losing the shots we have doesn't effect the story of the film, and there was no comments after the first showing to an audience about it not making sense, so I think this was the right decision.

We have used three separate pieces of music, along with some sound effects (a siren for example) that although are not essential to the movie, give it a more believable feel and further enhances the tone we are trying to create.

After the first edit showing it was clear that we had to re-lighten some shots of our femme fatale, change the order of our credits and tighten up the voice over. With these suggestions, we will return to our film, make the enhancements and hopefully improve our film.
