Further editing

We looked for other music on the internet, and Lily found the soundtrack from Physco Wolf, which are quite classical, but also horror music. The versions we found are classical versions, and this means that it adds a thriller effect, espeically with the violins. This makes the whole scene quite eeiry, and adds a mysterious edge to the scenes, which links to the black/white film noir music. Also, because Physcho is a film noir/thriller, this music seems very relevent, and works well.
We also added titles. There were some problems here- the titles on our programme(Imovie HD) were not very advanced, and did not move, and we could not place them anywhere we wanted in the frame. This was infuriting, so we had still title, however, we wanted rolling titles, which links to other film noir titles. However, instead, we placed the titles in the corners, which looks stylish and also maens that the picture is not obsured. We also changed the times of the titles- we made them long enough to read, and also made sure they were easy to read by changing colour, size etc.
We tried to not get any jump cuts, so all of the scenes flowed together- we did this by using alot of our shots, and editing very precisly so the movements and match on actions fitted togther well. To make the flow better, we made sure there were no different sized shots, so they fitted togther well. Although we considered doing long shots next to very short ones, we decided to make all the shots fit togther by letting them get steadily shorter or longer, which builds tension.
The light was quite bad and grimy, however, this adds to the age of the film.
