Editing:

Today we continued with editing the film. The footage we filmed of amy (ghost) was turned black and white and added as a flash as Steph walked along the bridge. We also sped up these clips in order to make them more distorted and shocking to the viewer. We also edited the shots where Steph walked out the house, saw the ghost and ran down the street. with these shots it was not a matter of making them freaky, just a mater of not making it look jumpy. The aim of these shots was to make it clear that Steph saw the ghost (Amy). We did this by doing an over the shoulder shot from Amy (ghost) watching Steph as she noticed her and then ran off. We chose an over the shoulder shot instead of a point of view shot as it would look odd and unprofessional if Steph was to look directly at the camera.

We managed to edit these shots very successfully and they worked very well in the film.
