When we finally finished filming, we then starting to edit our footage in the mac room. We first had to get a hard drive so things can get backed up. We then opened up Adobe Premiere editing software and we used that to edit our film. Jamie and Maria edit the first half of the footage until the middle. They inserted sound effects e.g bottle opening, closing jar. They also added colour effect through out the whole film to make it black and white. I on the other was searching for music like, horror creepy music to fit in our film. I then found one and i asked Jamie and Maria for their opinion and they seemed to like it. So Maria inserted that piece into the film. Me and Maria then carried on editing from the middle of the film until the end. We added more sound effects and then we added colour for just the last scene when the monster appears.We added a different music piece to the end, a more jumpy scary song, to really scare the audience. I also learned how to properly edit using a software iv'e never used, and by watching other people use it like maria i learned a lot on how to edit footage's using adobe.
Colour correction
We did colour correct the footage at the end because, the original footage was to dark, the lighting wasn't so good.You couldn't really see maria who was acting in the scene so what we did was we put the brightness up and sharpen it . We also changed the hue and saturation and colour contrast, at the end it did make a huge difference because now you can actually see her pointing. Also it has a green effect to it too.
Special effects
The special effect we added was just the green colour at the end of the film
Titiles
Me and Maria added titles at the beginning of the film saying the name of it which is "a noise in the night" in a different white font. Its right at the beginning of the open scene when Aaingel is in the kitchen.Then there's the title at the end of the film which are the credits saying the directors name and editors name.Also who starred in the movie, below is what the credits look like.
Voice over
The voice over seemed like a great idea at first since we didn't have any audio in our film,because of the boom pole mic situation.We decided to leave it out because we thought the film will look better without it. We did record Aaingel and maria's voice and we put it in the film, then we realised we don't actually like it there.Their voices as to loud and out of place and tune so we just left out.We feel like the music kinda took its place.
Music
The music was found on YouTube by me.I found tons of horror music themes and came across two that would fit the film.I wanted two of them because,one for the beginning and another for the end which is something completely different and makes the audience in a different scene.
