Prelim – Editing and Construction

Here is a screenshot of me and my partner editing the audio level of the music we used in the scene. It was originally too loud and drowned out the dialogue, so changing the gain made it much better and more fitting. It was no longer over powering, and you could easily hear the dialogue as well as having the atmospheric feeling with the music in the background.

In this screenshot, you can see where we have edited the clip and cut some of the clips so they fit well, and the after effects of when we edited it so that the colouring would look more like the one in the original clip, which was darker and dull.

Here is where we changed the hue, saturation and brightness of the clip so that it would match that of the original clip. By toning down the saturation to about 50% on each clip, we achieved this effect as it made it more convincing as well as looking more like a horror clip, as before it was too bright and sunny, which took away from the atmosphere.

Here is a comparison of what the clip looked like before adding the effects to make it look dull and more like the scene. As you can see, there is a clear difference, and the second one looks much more eerie and conventionally ‘horror’.
