Experimentation with editing and further content to film

 

Editing Progress

Yesterday evening we spent some time putting together the footage that we had gathered to see how it flowed to create a memory themed sequence. We decided to focus more on the visuals at this point, as we intend to record a larger range of audio over the weekend and lay sounds over the visuals that are different to the ones caught on the original recordings.

The shots that we particularly like at this stage are the opening eye sequence along with the title appearing, as we feel that this represents our idea well from the beginning.

We also like the shots that we have managed to get where the frame is shown being held within the larger shot; a frame within a frame. We prefer the city shot taken at Norfolk Park out of the two different location shots shown below; we like how the hands are shown within the frame, as well as the separation between different layers that can be seen within the out of focus background location and different layers of colour within the background scenery.

 

  

We did experiment a little with the audio, by placing some already recorded basic sounds underneath the footage to see at which moments in time within the visuals they best fit and where we felt like the narrative and memory theme was coming across at most strongly. We discovered that the repetitive sound of the clock ticking provided a pleasant and relevant background track to most of our footage, and we think this will work particularly well alongside a simple, limited voiceover within the first few moments within the film as shown below:
