Editing the film

It was difficult to find a time that all of us in the group were available to sit down and edit so Alex offered to edit while he had the time. We were all keen to go in and help but half of us had work and other were struggling to quickly deal with a problem on another module's project. During Alex's editing session however, I went in to offer any help and I colour corrected some of the office scenes. I was keen to help out with the edit and also get my hands on the colour corrector tools as I hadn't been properly shown before how to use them.

 Alex helped me by telling me what looks good in terms of warm tones and colder tones and I feel I managed to colour correct to present the film in a nice light. I also helped Alex decide which colour to put the 'waking up from unconsciousness' scene as he had brilliantly edited it so that a wide shot is out of focus and represents someone waking up in a daze very cleverly. We both thought about the colours to use in this scene and felt a slightly pink tone would signify the colour change; another requirement for the film. We made sure the film included the 4 key requirements: colour, lighting, point of view and sequence shot. The film is now called 'The Wake Up'.
