On-going Editing

We have pretty much finished our final sequence using the old footage, and may just need to fiddle around with sound and light levels for various clips during the dialogue. We may have to work on getting rid of crackle and background noise which is prodominant in clips that we have raised the volume on for Matt's dialogue. There does not seem to be too much more we can do with the lighting in the clips of Rob. At least by raising the brightness a little he is slightly more visible, matching with the other shots.. The last big thing we got done today was replace the feeble bang sound on the door in the 'bloody hand' clip with a more ferocious bang sound. We recorded this today in the English corridor by slamming the door shut. We slowed the clip down by 50% and put a reverb effect on it to make it low-pitched and long lasting as well as very loud. This gives the shocking effect that we wanted without taking the atmosphere away for an anti-climax after the sound and hand appears. This manouvre was very successful to give us a decent ending to the sequence along with the flickering title, 'Reservation'.
