I have finished editing my film and I am very pleased with the results. There are a few minor things that would need tweaking but ultimately as a test, I view this film as a great success.
When editing, I had a limited amount of time and so upon reflection, more time perhaps would have been of great use. Because of the way I shot, I didn't have much room to move as an editor and would have preferred more alternative shots. The shots did look great however and I love the overall look of the film. As the film is shot in a studio space I want to attempt to create the atmosphere with ambiant sound. To do this I acquired some appropriate sounds of a forest at night and attempted to create an atmosphere.
The goal of this project was to find a way to realise one of my fantastical ideas in a practical and realistic manner without "dumbing down" the idea for the sake of budgets and the like. The characters have come out very well, though for the real film I will need professional actors. Although me, Isaac and Ben do a good job considering, I can't help but feel that having a professional cast would really help bring these characters to life. Another thing that I would improve in future is to plan the shots better so that I can edit more effectively, though in my defense I would have more shots had a number of technical problems arose. I intend to re-edit the film slightly, to try and make it a little better beofre hand in. Ultimately I feel that this test has proven to me that I am able to realise these ideas on a limited budget and means. I fully intend to continue this story and also intend to follow these ideas on into my final film next term.
