When editing the footage we got from our first filming session, we realised we would have to re-film some of the killer's preparation scene. As this was meant to be very early in the morning when there would be no sunlight, we tried to darken the room slightly to produce this effect. However although the brightness of the shots looked good on the camera screen, once they were uploaded to the macs we could see they were too dark to see enough detail. Therefore we re-filmed these shots using natural daylight. But this time to produce the night time effect we applied a 'day to night' filter on the clips which meant it looked darker but the actors were still visible enough.
After we had edited all our re-filmed clips we had something we were fairly happy with, but not completely finished and polished yet. We had yet to include music or sound effect on our rough cut so this was inevitably a large thing that we would need to add for our final cut. After getting feedback from our peers and teacher, we decided we needed to cut down our opening by about 25 seconds. Usually this is quite a lot to cut out if you want to keep all of the shot in a film. However, since our film used many slow motion clips for dramatic effect, we could cut a second or two of quite a lot of the shots without actually losing much in the way of content. We also decided to increase the speed of some of the slow motion shots as we didn't want to lose any more of the clip.
We also needed to redo the credits as we weren't happy with how they looked.
