Today, we basically just carried on with our editing for 'Curiosity' as well as some last-minute filming to finish the filming in general. We have done more to the film, but there's still a bit to go. We added a lot more 'cross-blur' effects in the film to imply that every time the screen blurs, then the 'ghost' is either in the shot or it's simply close to where the location on the screen is. Here is our updated film.

Very promising start here. Some technically well-created shots and mixed well with some good use of camera movement. The composition of shots to include the mysterious figure in the background shows a clear understanding of horror conventions and when combined with music, will hopefully provide an element of shock for the audience. There are some small issues in terms of editing where one scene follows another but seems to take place slightly earlier on (although not something easily explained in this comment box-will elaborate in class) but this is a minor thing that can be easily tightened up.
ReplyDeleteMy main concern however is with the regularity in the use of transitions. Some of these work well in moving from an internal establishing shot to a character or from one room/corridor to another, but the frequency and the elaborate nature of them is something which I feel is very jarring. It makes it difficult for the audience to understand what is happening/where something is happening and because of the range of the transitions some are much longer than other and this impacts upon the pace of the clip. My suggestion would be to remove many of these and rely on jump-cuts in many instance-horror films as a rule create a scared response in the audience because of the unexpected and if you use a long and complicated transition, the audience will be spending more time working out what is going on and less on being able to be scared. We'll work on how to 'scare' next lesson in class.
A really promising start however.
