Adaptations to the Film

There were a few modifications that needed applying to our film. The major change that we have done is the close up of Arthur's eye that is about 20 seconds into the clip. The first cut that we had of this scene was quite poor. After having feedback from the other groups we changed this scene drastically. We played around with the effects on final cut and then we applied the dazzle and light rays effect as this was the best one that we all decided on.

We then reduced the length if the jump cuts in the clip. They were originally to long and did not give the effect that we wanted. We wanted to disorientate the viewer with the fast paced editing and the rapid cuts. The shots have now been reduced to 0.2 seconds for each shot and we have 10 shots that go together to make them, so all in all the jump cuts are lasting 2 seconds.

The heartbeat that was playing in the background was one of the things the questionaire at theshowed was not great, people said it was too loud and used too often throughout the film. After listening to this feedback we then re-edited the sound and made the first heartbeat lot quieter and deleted the part where it was used again to reduce the usage of the same clip.

The dialogue in the film was said top be too quiet and not quite clear enough. After listening to this we then went away re recorded the dialogue sound and then reapplied that to the film.

Originally whilst filming we had the setting a lot darker than was in the clip. We had to adapt this due to the fact that the cameras would not pick up the actors in such a dark light. We then changed the lighting situation and then when it came to editing made the background light a lot dimmer to get the same effect. Although we could not use the light that we originally wanted doing it this way still gave us the effect we were looking for.
