Micro Horror Drama - Production

First we went to the location, we discuses where to put the cameras and what type of shots to use. After setting up the cameras and doing some test shoots we started filming the final product.  

After filming all we needed we started edition. I edited the second part, the sequence when we where are the scary house. I used Pinnacle Studio 17. I have never used this program before but i have some experiences in editing using Adobe Premier Pro. 

I learned the basics quick, such as importing, exporting, and cutting. I also learned how to cut sound from a clip and add sound effects.

I didn't do any advances editing it was more the basics so i could get used to the editing software. The one thing that was a bit more advanced then the rest was making the thunder and lighting part, it took some time to learn how to change the color of the screen and for how long but after a while i got it to look good. 

I had a very big problem at the end and that was adding the credits, not only did i run out of time but i didn't get the rolling credits to work, that's why when you see the clip at the very end it is very long, this space was meant to be filled in with the credits.

Editing

Throughout the clip we only used cuts except for one part, when they are at the haunted house there is a quick fade to another clip to show the passing of time. We only used cuts because this was our first project so it was a good way to learn how to use the editing software. If i knew how to do other transitions i don't think i would, except for the transition from around the fire to the house. The reason for this is because i feel the cuts add effect and the reason i would change the one transition is to show the passing of time, i think a dissolve would have worked.
