Editing

Screenshot of CCTV shot.
Green Screening.
The editing process has been smooth so far. I have successfully cut and placed shots in the order I want and they seem to sync well. Although seeing some of the shots edited has made me want to cut some shots and redo them as they don't look very professional and could be filmed better.
The music I have used also is something being planned to be changed after some editing. In some places it seems to overly dramatic so I'm thinking about keeping it some places where it works well (towards the end) and changing to a new song in some places.
I have decided for the voice over at the start, I am going to use a 'text to speech' software to put over the top. The computer automated voice will sound good and emphasis the fall of England which is relevant for my piece. This idea was inspired to me by The Purge.

Filming - Day 2

Film Set in Field.
Today I filmed the second part of my trailer and it went well. I added in some new shots which were different from my storyboard. I have managed to sync the shots with the music I chose. The weather was wet and made the film footage look gloomy which is what I wanted. I managed to film shots 21, 23, 25 and 27 plus other I came up with there. I filmed shots of them running and cut a bit of the start to make it more linked with other shots that I put it with.
'CCTV' Set Up.
Earlier this day, I came up with a new shot where I made my own CCTV shot which will be briefly played during shot 1. I set up a camera in the top window of the building and got two actors (George and Tasha) to go outside and act as if George was kidnapping Tasha.
To make it seem more realistic as CCTV footage, I made it black and white and also made a picture of a date and 'Rec' and green screened it over the shot.
This took a few takes to get right as there were members of the public walking through the shot but eventually it was clear and it managed to go well. I had to use a different camera as it was a very spontaneous idea and didn't have my normal camera with me at the time.
