For the final edit of our continuity task, Morrighan took the role of making the final edit for our team. We discussed the possible music which we would be using for our continuity task beforehand, and came up with the final choice of Artie Shaw, Nightmare.
It is fitting with our continuity task style, as it is traditionally film noir and suits the slow speed of our shots.
When Morrighan edited the music for our team, she "Taken from Morrighan's blog: cut it and repeated it in lots of different places to result in the appropriate tempo of music at the appropriate time. I then put the volume of the music down to around 40%, so that it wouldn't take over and over power the vocal sound in the film. In some cases the vocal was still drowned out a little, so I increased the volume of that clip, so it could be heard over the music."
The feedback on the redemptive woman's shoes for mise en scene which is not fitting with the film noir style of our continuity task could not be cut out of cropped. This is because it is an important walking shot which takes up too much of the shot to be cropped out. Therefore we decided to leave this in our continuity task. From the continuity task, I learnt that it is important to not only keep shots and scenes conforming to continuity, but also the mise en scene used for a certain style, as it is one of the main things which our focus group criticised. I also developed a better understanding of the planning for films, as well as the types of shots which films use, and how to operate video cameras and use iMovie, as these are things I previously had little experience with. The skills I have gained from this task will assist me when creating my film noir OTS, for planning, filming, and editing.
