Filming so late has meant our editing hours has been cut down severely. Today is 'mopping up' day; the project is finalised and rendered. All we have left to do is record the voice-over of Lucy. I recorded my voice for the emergency radio broadcast, and got it up to pretty much 30 seconds. The credits have been completed, although they are their merely as a filler and not as a creative ending. They run for 30-40 seconds. We are trying to bump our time up; our edited footage a couple of days ago was 2 and a half minutes. With the addition of the credits and voice-over it is now 3 and a half minutes long. This is still under the 5 minutes quite severely, and we have no more relevant footage to stick in to juice it up a bit. I will also have to load the project in GarageBand, finish the music, and render it all. Depending on the length of the voice-over, I may have to shorten or lengthen some of the shots the voice-over layers over. The chances of me getting it bang on the same amount of time is minuscule, so chances are extending or reducing shots will have to be done. We have an unusual amount to do considering the hours we've put in, but nothing has gone our way. During editing today, the credits slipped in the time line and eradicated a lot of our footage. We couldn't retrieve it, so we had to close Final Cut, go back in, and do the credits all over again. These little mistakes cost us 15-20 minutes, which we need to finish the film.
For our music, I have layered several different things. The music enters when the credits do, and I have gone for a slow piano tune, along with a subtle heartbeat and an intense undertone.
