Microdrama: Editing

Final Cut Pro

We edited the film so that the slasher/killer character was portrayed via narrative enigma where by we didn't show himself to the camera until the end of the film.

When editing the Microdrama we used Final Cut Pro which helped us greatly in touching up and linking the shots together to create one whole film rather than short snippets of film which would have made no sense at all to the viewing audience.

We added extra sound effects to add more tention and exageration to the killing scenes or "fake scare". This made the microdrama look better and was more scary. We also added extra background music to give it a more film feel and made it scarier.

For the editing we split our filming group in two and both had turns at editing the film this was so that we could so which was a better edit and so that we could cover all angles of which the film could be interpreted, we added transitions and effects which enhanced the scariness and tension in the film.

Things i would change if we were to do it again would be more blood and gore when the actual killing takes place and more screaming for help when the 'lads' are trapped by the killer. Also i would probably add more lighting effect to the night time scenes.
