Editing

Prior to editing we made a recording log and editing decision list in order to keep track of what shots we wanted to keep and the other less favorable ones.

We edited the sequence via the programme Final Cut Pro. At the start of Deadline during the establishing shot of the lake the location and time appears on screen as if being typed this is a convention of the thriller genre we wished to incorporate into the film. A zoom effect is added to make it feel as though we had zoomed into where the scene was about to take place. To distinguish between human and zombie point of view shots we had the zombies tinted with the colour red as if their eyes are blood shot with rage.

We also used blurs and white wash to make it feel as though the survivors are fading in and out of conscienceness. We also filmed during the day and night therefore the film sequence was half in complete darkness and half in broad daylight however we sorted this problem by editing the brightness of the overall piece, making it all darker. We shot most the movie in chronological order therefore it wasn't to much to hard to assemble the shots into the right timeline.
