Once I had the footage and sound in place I moved into the editing phase using Cap Cut . This is where the whole piece started to come together and really start looking like the film opening that i imagined when I started. I wanted to create something that felt creepy and eerie and spread tension through the audience.My main purpose was to create something that kept the viewer just a little bit unsure of what is going to happen and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most important stylistic decisions I made was using the black and white gothic filter for when the second meeting with the ghosts occurs. This added a dizzying and distorted look to the footage emphasizing the creepy atmosphere. It matched the psychological tone I was going for and made everything feel darker and more mysterious. I didn\u2019t use slow motion, but I did speed up some scenes that were a little too slowly shooted to make everything flow in better way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also played with color granding even though the film is in black and white. I adjusted the brightness, contrast and sharpness to highlight the shadows and give more texture to the visuals. The result was a kind of enhancing to the atmosphere that reminded me of old horror films or thrillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each edit I made had to match the sound effects that i previously added for example, when i added a click sound I synced it with a camera shake or scene cut. I made sure that the transitions lined up with the soundtrack so the audio and visuals worked together to build tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This phase really showed me how powerful editing can be. Every choice whether it was a filter, transition or bit of timing changed how the audience perceived the scenes while watching. In the end I think the editing style perfectly matched my genre and made the film opening feel unsettling which was my main goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
