Editing

So once we had finished all of our filming after day 3, we were ready to upload and start editing. We have also decided that we would change the name from Cane Hill to Lodge Hill as we have some shots of the sign Lodge Hill from outside the cemetery. We spent hours editing all the shots together, making sure that all the shots had continuity. We felt that the match cuts were clean and smooth, although we had trouble with creating tension and building up the story during the middle part of the film. The beginning and end were strong and fluid, but we still needed to build suspense during the middle section.
We also decided to add an effect to our film, as although the cloudy sky was effective, the darkness was not obvious enough in the last few scenes and we felt that lighting is a very important part of mise en scene in horror films, and so we wanted to exaggerate the shadows and darkness.
