Editing Date: 20nd November 2012 Location: Oaks Park High School A29 Members present: Anuka Barua Editing Start Time: 9.50am Editing: Log and captured all the footage onto Film Cut Pro. 10.13am Once logged and captured, I started putting the footage in the correct sequence, with help from the storyboard. Problems Occurred: Putting the sequence in the correct order was time consuming. We had old footage with new ones, so I had to go through all of them and find the specific ones. How I resolved the problem?: I managed to separate the footage by logging and capturing it separately and labeling them so I dont get confused. 10.45am I managed to put together half of the media footage together. Finished editing at 10.50am

Members present: Anuka Barua Uzair Babar (director) Editing Start Time: 12.19pm Editing: I continued putting the sequence together and rendering them all. 12:45pm I finished putting in the sequence together. Problems Occurred: During the editing I realized a couple of scenes were missing. I checked the old and new footage to find them but they werent there. How I resolved the problem?: I showed Uzair (the director) our footage and explained the problem to him. We decided that we will have to call our cast up for a meeting and discuss a new date for re-filming. 1:05pm I started picking sounds from Itunes to put onto our footage. Finished editing at 1:15pm

Editing Date: 23th November 2012 Location: Oaks Park High School A29 Members present: Anuka Barua Editing Start Time: 2.15pm Editing: I logged and captured the new (missing) footage onto the software and put it the correct place in the sequence.

2.20pm I did a sound check Problems Occurred: Whilst I did the sound check I noticed that the audio of the footage was out of sync. How I resolved the problem?: I listened to the footage over and over again and adjusted the audio by moving it forward and backwards until the visual and audio footage were in sync however it was time consuming. 2.45pm Continued with the audio syncing and I also started playing around with the filters. Finished editing at 4.30pm

Editing Date: 28th November 2012 Location: Oaks Park High School A29 Members present: Anuka Barua Editing Start Time: 11:15pm Editing: I finished syncing the audio with the visual footage and put in the first filter which was the blinking. 11.35pm I added color filters on the demons POV and added the strobe effect. Problems Occurred: I had trouble adjusting the length and setting the correct contrasting levels on the strobe effect.

How I resolved the problem?: I went on the help guide and followed instructions they provided. 12.12pm I managed to adjust the strobe effect and continued to add it to the other scenes. Finished editing at 1:15

Editing Date: 29th November 2012 Location: Oaks Park High School A29 Members present: Anuka Barua Editing Start Time: 9.00am Editing: I started adding the titles and credits onto the footage. 9:15 I added titles and credits within the clips. Problems Occurred: Some clips were too short to add a title. How I resolved the problem?: I adjusted the duration of some clips longer so I could add the titles. 1:00 Made sure all titles appeared at the right times. Finished editing at 1:15

Editing Date: 29th November 2012 Location: Oaks Park High School A29 Members present: Anuka Barua Editing Start Time: 12.15pm Editing: I started adding the soundtracks and sound effects onto our footage. 12.40pm I put on the sound effects and adjusted the volumes making sure they didnt hit the red bar. I made sure that the sound faded in and out on the right time and that the duration wasnt too long or too short. Problems Occurred: Some of the sounds that we picked as a group originally did not suite our footage therefore I had look for new ones. How I resolved the problem?: I listened to sounds that were already on the computer and searched for new ones. 01.05pm I put on the remaining sound effects Finished editing at 1.15pm 3.16pm (After School) Editing: I continued with the sound and filter effects. Finished editing at 4.00pm Editing Date: 30th November 2012

Location: Oaks Park High School A29 Members present: Anuka Barua Uzair Babar Hiba Butt Editing Start Time: 2.24pm Editing: I continued putting in the sound effects in the right sequence/order 2.40pm I adjusted the sound effects and volume level and made sure that the nondigetic music didnt overtake the digetic (dialog between the characters) Problems Occurred: I found it difficult to adjust the volume, it was time consuming because every time I moved or changed the duration of the sound, I kept having to render them. How I resolved the problem?: 01.05pm I finished the sound and decided to run the footage from the beginning to see if there were any problems or anything missing that I needed to add. I watched it with Uzair and Hiba to get their opinions and incase I didnt see any mistakes. Finished editing at 1.15pm Exported it onto 2 DVDS I uploaded the video onto Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and Group blog. Editing Completed
