Editing Of 'The Devil Inside' Scene We Recreated

         Editing Of 'The Devil Inside' Scene We Recreated


Firstly, we opened 'Windows Live Movie Maker' which will be the program we are going to use to edit our video. We clicked on home and then clicked the add videos and images button to import our video clips. We added our video clips from the shared area and put them in order that they were filmed in so that the film flowed.

Next we had to make our first clip shorter. We decided to make this clip shorter because it ran for too long and it was unnecessary for the film. We did this by running the first clip for just over one second and then I clicked the split button. By doing that, the two shots split in two and we then could delete the part that we no longer wanted which then made the clip the length we wanted.







Then, we decided that our clip of Rachel saying "Connect the cuts" wasn't effective at the beginning of the clip because Rachel was smiling before she said it. We split the clip just before she started to speak so it cut out the majority of the laughing and she looked more serious. We then deleted the bit that we did not need, therefore it looked more effective to watch.



The same thing then happened for the next clip because before Rachel said her line, she smiled. This didn't look effective because it gave off the impression that she was saying the line for a comic reason which meant we wouldn't get the reaction off of the audience that we wanted. We did that by playing the clip and when she started to say her line we stopped it and split the clip, then deleting the clip we didn't want.

The next clip then didn't follow the original scene because it started to follow up the arm before it was suppose to. We decided the cut the clip just after Charlie had said her line so that the next clip followed on after and looked it looked more effective. We did this the same way by splitting the clip and deleting the bit we didn't need.

The next clip had Charlie's voice in the background which made the clip less effective so we decided to mute the volume so the audience wouldn't hear what she was saying. We did this by clicking the volume button and putting it down to mute so that there was no sound in the clip.

The final clip we split was the last clip where Rachel screams. We split this because Rachel started to laugh near the end and it became less effective and would give a comical element which we didn't want. So, we decided to split it just before she started to laugh and then deleted it meaning that the last bit the audience would see would be scary rather than comical.





Sound effects.

There wasn't any sound effects or music in the scene we had recreated, so to make our scene look  more like the actual scene, we too didn't add any sound effects or music. This also added more tension to the scene because it added eerie silences to the clip and made the audience focus more on what was actually happening in the scene.
