Final Cut - Backlash

Here is our 3rd and final cut of our short film "Backlash"

During editing our Second cut it was clear that many things needed to be added and changed. We then went on to analyze every scene to make sure that it was well explained. We cut certain scenes that we thought went on for an unnecessary amount of time and also ones that we thought didn't really need to exist. We also went through and regulated the volume on all of our clips, this was done to make our film more pleasing to listen to as certain scenes before had background noises in that ruined not only the scene but also the setting of the film. An example of this would be in the scene where our antagonist walks out of his office we could hear allot of background noises that clearly made our whole scene appear to be in a school. To fix this problem we turned down the sounds in that scene and added music and sound effects to it. We did this for all of the scenes  where we could see inconsistencies within the clips to make our final project more believable. We also added other sound effects such as doors clicking when they are opened and closed and also things such as keyboard noises in the office scene.

When looking at and reviewing our second cut we also saw that in some scenes music was missing, we then went on to understand that these scenes could greatly be improved if music were to be added to these scenes. To do this we made use of royalty free websites to find suitable music that would add quality and to improve our use of good mise-en-scene in the film.
