Prelim Post Production

Firs we uploaded the video to the Final Cut Server, from which we accessed an Edit Proxy (digital copy) of the raw footage which we then opened in Final Cut Pro to begin the editing / post production process.

Then we selected the shots we wanted to use and logged them. Logging is the process where the editor chooses the best takes and transferes them into the "Log-Bin". Then we cutted the material we tried to make the cuts not obvious, that is called Continuity Editing.

Continuity editing is an invisible style of editing in narrative film and television. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical relationship between shots.
Basically, to ensure that the selected shots are put together in an order that makes sense to the audience – so that they can follow the story as clearly as possible.
In most films, cutting to continuity is, which increases smooth transition of time and space. However, some films incorporate cutting to continuity into a more complex classical cutting technique, one which also tries to show psychological continuity of shots. The montage technique relies on symbolic association of ideas between shots rather than association of simple physical action for its continuity.

Continuity editing can be divided into two categories: temporal continuity and spatial continuity – literally TIME and SPACE.
The important ways to preserve temporal continuity are avoiding the ellipsis(an apparent break in natural time) , using continuous Diegetic sound, and utilizing the match on action technique.
It would also be necessary to shoot the whole film in one take in order to keep from having to edit together different shots, causing the viewer's temporal disorientation.
Digetic sounds are noises that are naturally in a movie (e.g. doors, cars). Continuous diegetic sound helps to smooth temporally questionable cuts by overlapping the shots (SOUND BRIDGES, connect frames).

Match on action for example is, a shot of someone throwing a ball can be edited to show two different views, while maintaining temporal continuity by being sure that the second shot shows the arm of the subject in the same stage of its motion as it was left when cutting from the first shot.

Disolve or a fade is an smooth cut where the first frames fades out and is over layed with an other picture that fades in.

Cross-cutting is a technique which conveys an undeniable spatial discontinuity. It can be achieved by cutting back and forth between shots of spatially unrelated places.

Jump Cut
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly.
Recently the jump cut has been used in films like Snatch, from Guy Ritchie, and Run Lola Run, from Tom Tykwer.

Horror Poster

I decided to combine probably the most terrifying horror characters in the history of film (Jason from Friday the 13th and Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre) because if they "act" as a team there would be more action, more fear and definitely more murderers in a movie. In this film the victims do not have to be scared about one psychopath they have to be scared about 2 of the most sick individuals on earth. It is the comlete difference to Freddy vs. Jason because this time Jason and Leatherface are working together.

The poster is mainly in black, that is a symbol of fear which surrounds both characters and the poor girl gets swallowed by it. Leatherface is in the upper part of the picture because he is the even worse killer and Jason is carrying his victim out of the frame. The reason why the She is in the middle of both killers

is because Jason and Leatherface are focused on the girl and one of them is going to get her.

Video Camera

This is the camera we used (PD 1 70)

This is the Red One camera The first and only camera yet that enables Amateur-Filmmakers or starting private companys to shoot professional movies in High Definition. The camera as its shown costs 17.500$ this do not include basic cinematography-grade lenses which cost from 5.000 $ up to 10.000 $.
Video Cameras work basicly like a a photo camera the big difference is a normal Film camera takes 24 frames per seconds(NTSC) or 25 frames per seconds (PAL) which is the most common type in all countries. Because our eye lethargic it sees a moving picture when there are 16 frames in one second. This how a video camera works explainend in a very simplified way, but these are the basics! Throug different camera movements a mood is created. It can be a smooth, calm atmospher than a tracking shot or a smooth Pan or Tilt would be the best to reinforce this. If a director wants to establish a rushed, dangerous or excited mood the camera should be handheld. This makes the picture more shaky and lets it seem more nervous.

INTRO TO STILLS CAMERA

A still camera is the type of camera that is used to take still photographs. It captures light on to photographic film. To create a good picture you should be aware of different topics. Hotspot, Zoom, Focus, Angle and Light. These are all factors of leading the eye. Like the hotspots. They lead you to the point you should looking at in a chronological order. Focus and Zoom also create a similar effect e.g. focus is very important because can put thinks that we are interested in in focus and the other parts out of focus so that leads our gain to the dominant object in the frame. Angle shows us what status the object or person has that is in the frame. Light creates a mood and feeling (soft light-show the person or object in a beautiful or softer way; hard light-shows every thing in a harder an rough way often used in pictures that should create a dangerous or dramatic atmosphere

Different shot lead the attention of the audience to different points in the picture.
