Editing.

We used the MAC computers to edit our film. This was useful as it had the facility iMovie which meant we could put our movie clips onto the application. we could manipulate it into any sequence we wanted and rearrange the clips.

These transitions are available on the the MAC and this editing technique helped as it gave a better effect to the part of a film we wanted.

We used the the fade to black as it represented the fact that our main protagonist was passing out, however when fading to black it wasn't always long enough so we filmed just pitch black for a few seconds (see below) so that our main protagonist passing out was shown more effectively. We placed the clip after the fading out so it is longer.

There were also other options to use which included the fade to white, which we used as well, it was used to split the film to show a change in the story line. This makes the finish clip seem more realistic and professional as it isn't one straight forward clip, jumping to the next one. It has transitions which make it flow easier and gives an added effect.

Other transitions could be included for example, one could make the picture blurred to add a drunk effect,or changed the contrast to make it brighter or darker. This meant it wasn't down to lighting when filming, it could be altered when editing, which was useful as sometimes the lighting had not come out as hoped. So when we edited on the MAC it could be changed to fit the rest of the clip.
