Final week of editing

The plan is to complete the film by Friday 28th February and in order to remain organised we have created a list of any editing that needs to be perfected.

- Remove the clip of Rebecca being hit on the head by George amongst flashbacks of visions during the office conversation. It is too short and is better placed later with the other action shots instead. This clip should be replaced with the corner shot of him approaching her into the alleyway to remain some sort of chronological order that makes sense to the audience.

- Eradicate any gaps between unfinished titles etc.

- Complete the titles and ensure that each title is of equal pace

- Include a white haze underlying all clips which will be hightened and reduced in opacity during the visions to create a "dream-like" effect. Beforehand I used a white "dip-to-colour" before and after clips to create the hazy effect however here is an easier alternative:

1-  'Text'

2- Shapes > Square

3- Once the square has been placed onto the screen, extend it out to cover the black on the canvas screen.

4- Drag this clip down and extend it across all clips- reduce the opacity until the visions clips appear.

- Find a clip of George tossing about erractically in his trance-like state amongst the clips of the visions to show his distress. Possibly slow action down to make it more dramatic and detached. 

- Use "http://www.freesfx.co.uk/" to find the following tracks:

• After Dark: high-pitched screeching which increases in intensity, crop this from the beginning of the track and layer it over the final title ("The Hypnotist")
• Dark Tension - Eerie Dark etc.: use this track as George is walking up the stairs
• Spooky Film Theme: use this during the action scene?
• Footsteps gravel: we should layer more sound effects over the film to avoid unintended silences; this could be used as George is approaching Rebecca into the alleyway when either the both are walking or when Rebecca reaches the alleyway.
