Post Production: Editing Extra Footage

Next we added in some extra footage that was not initially planned in the first stages of planning our opening. This included clips of running through the woods and even seeing a dark figure. I added these clips at the beginning to convey to the audience that this is a horror film and to create suspense. 

Then we decided that to make the scenes more horrifying we would change them from colour to black and white. To do this scroll across the top to 'Effects' then to 'Video Filters' next to 'Image Control' and finally click 'Desaturate' make sure to do this for each clip you desire to be altered.

The other clips were of a hand crossing out the victims face in pictures with his friends. We included jigsaw pieces around the area and a swaying light as an effective part of mise en scene. Some examples of these clips are below. We added these in between three similar clips of extreme close ups involving facial features  This would signify to the audience that these are previous events that have occurred and reflection of these character may be occurring due to their friends death.
