Editing Process

After filming, I had to edit my footage and add the music and voice over. When combining my voice over and my music, I changed the volume of both to make sure that the speech could always be heard and not drowned out by the music. Putting the voice over onto the opening sequence was quite a long process because I had to split up the audio into multiple sections and keep constantly adjusting the placement of each section so it related to the action taking place.

When editing my footage, I felt that the clips that I had filmed were too dark as I wanted to create a dreamlike atmosphere where like colour and lighting represented Arya feeling like she was slipping away. To brighten my footage, I edited the clips curves and increased the brightness, I did this for all of the footage on the beach, I did not edit the brightness for the footage before this as I felt that if these clips were bright it would look very non-naturalistic.

It took me a long time to settle on the font that I wanted to use for the title of my film Let Me Go.
I wanted the title to not be too bold and jarring on the screen but to still be bold and noticeable at the title of my film. I was unsure of what colour to pick and at first I chose a pink colour in swirly writing but I feel that it looked quite vintage and represented a romance genre more than drama, so I played around with the font again.

The font that I decided on, I think would attract my target audience more because it looks free and relaxed.As I did not want the text on screen to be too harsh, I edited the transparency of the text and added a glow effect around the outline, this made the text compliment the footage better than it had before.
