Stage 5

Editing = Mission

We got our mission statement across with the editing of the truck pulling up and all of a sudden Sawyer disappearing. We had a tilt shot into a close up to show the mothers emotion of shock and basically a freakout when she realized her child was gone. There’s a slow motion clip to add suspense into the film. Also, we didn’t want many strangers in the film so a lot of the times we had to wait for strangers to get out of the frame in order to film.

Technology + iMovie + Youtube

We filmed on an iPhone 11 pro max and used iMovie to edit and combine all the clips. I did research on youtube to find out how to edit and how to use the app in general. We didn’t use any other prop ups, for example like a tripod or stand. I walked around filming each clip trying to get as many angles as I could.

Transitions + Editing + Titiles

At first our film was choppy so we had to research on how to smooth each transition out. Our title sequence was made by my partner Grace and worked well with out thriller theme. The drama part was brought into the film by the daughter going missing and the unknown factor. We decided to put the credits in white lettering in the beginning of the film and the title in black to catch the audiences attention better.
