Editing

In order to show progression from our editing in our AS film opening piece, we attempted new editing techniques to make our music more effective and to create new visual effects on our clips, in accordance with the conventions of the social realism genre.

 Our music was an acoustic take on "You're the one that I want" from Grease that provides an eerie atmosphere for our trailer. We cut different parts of the song out to emphasise certain lyrics that we decided would subvert the usual themes from the song. Where the piece is typically childish and comically romantic, we used it to be quite the opposite, serious and gripping, the music that we put together reflects the harsh acts visually depicted

To combine these clips to make sure that the timings were not affected when moving different clips around, we created a compound clip out of the three cut pieces. This allowed us to have one whole piece of music making it easier to match with the video clips.

We used the same technique with the video clips. This was to make it easier for us to view our clips together and to establish where we had these 'burst' of clips next to each other. To create a visual effect that was difficult to watch, we overlaid the same clip multiple times with each a split second after the previous one. This created a motion blur that is hard to watch but effective at achieving what we imagine as a POV shot of someone who has been drugged/is groggy after having been attacked and left in the woods. One code of social realism is that the films are often hard to watch, this effect on these clips makes a shaky walk out of a bunker in the woods an uncomfortable shot that people found themselves feeling nauseous watching.
