Post- Production (Editing): Changes

For the editing, our short film was intact too long(around 6 minutes 40 seconds), therefore we had to run through the whole short film to shorten parts in which we never used as we are only allowed around 5 minutes approximately. We started on the start where we felt was the most time consuming. Therefore we cut the parts to make the film run smoothly as well as fine cutting parts to shorten the overall short film.

By doing these changes to our final film, we felt it also made the short film flow better because it keeps the audience interested with the quick cutting and tension building. At the time of going through the film, we found areas which weren't following as well. This at the time we then adapted to make it the best we possibly can, as well as improving some clips we feel would make the narrative flow better.

As well as making the film shorter, also changes to the contrast on the 'night time' shots were changed to make the shot more realistic.  This was applied to two of the shots, which are shown below. We felt that with the inclusion of the change in contrast, it became very unsettling for the audience which we felt we wanted. We also moved around the sound to match the shots so it really creates tension at the perfect times.
