Adding in the new footage & sound

More editing

In yesterday's media lesson, we continued to make our extract more complete. This was done by adding the audio of Evan singing the nursery rhyme onto Adobe Premier Pro as well as the establishing shot of the antagonist's home. During the start of the lesson, Emma added the nursery rhyme into the extract, but we were faced with an important issue. The new audio didn't match the scene and you could tell that the audio had been voiced over. This then meant that we were going to be slightly behind, however this issue can easily be solved by recording Evan again, as it was the timing that was the problem. So therefore we have now arranged to record Evan within the next following days. 

 Furthermore, myself and Izzy then began to edit the establishing shot by cropping the duration of the clip down and applying a black and white filter over the top, so that it matched the rest of our opening sequence. However whilst we were making these alterations, a black border surrounded the footage and we were unsure as to what it meant or how it appeared. So therefore we though that zooming in on the clip may remove the boarder, but this then didn't seem to work as the footage became slower, blurred and looked too bright and over exposed. Furthermore, we then had to decide on what to do and this was an issue due to the deadline getting closer and closer. So, we thought about cropping the clip even more, so that it missed out the slower and un-focused tilt. But then this would result in us losing a unique camera technique and we feared that this may affect our overall grade if we used a more generic camera shot. After discussing the problem we eventually decided to re-film the establishing shot the next day during lunch, meaning that we could edit the footage in the next media lesson. Also, towards the end of the lesson Izzy and Emma recorded the last few news reports and then uploaded the audio onto the opening sequence, meaning that this section was done and no longer required improvements.
