P3(b) Producing and Reviewing an Off Line Edit

to achieve the desired result of my film, the editing process needed to be  completed with care altering individual clips in order to gain the best results. Editing means working with every clip that is seen in the final production, Completing an offline edit was longest stage in the production processes as it is when the storyline is formed through the first edit,additional effects will be used to keep viewers engaged throughout,

firstly I placed all the raw footage into the editing timeline, offering the first glimpse of the film  it allowed me to see  rough timings and also the flow . Rushes need to be cut down to create flow and professional looking, and audio clips needed to be checked for sound levels, then linked to form one audio bar.

Creating Meaning

I created and presented meaning during my film using  a number of techniques. i aimed to tell a story presenting meaning to the audience this way E.G audio levels, type of audio  sound a variety of shots, and visual effects, helping to change the pace and intensify each scene.

The offline edit wont involve visual effects which might  appear in the final film however the initial stages are important in order to get the story line right and creat the flower the final film and footage deserves

another way i related meaning was the montage scene this relates to the scene with the calendar  This scene includes a variety of different rushes as time passes the calendar fills up.  The storyboard image below shows the way i wanted it to play out, with a number of clips overlapping the others, my timeline above wouldn't include the visual affects i inserted during post production
 Meaning is shown in this montage through the pace, when the calendar is getting ticked of it starts at a slower pace then gradually speeds up the calmer music is used in order to convey the happiness he feels during this time of hanging out with his friend , however the audio changes rapidly which then increases the pace of music and thus clips become shorter, raising the intensity of the situation and perhaps causing more fear in the audiences mind.
