Editing (Effects)

To make our piece more advanced i wanted to add some effect to improve our piece and add more flair to our final project. I used a lot transitions such as cross dissolves and fade to colour in our piece in order to speed things up by jump cutting but also at the same time be more attractive to the viewer rather than it just changing shot because it adds continuity to the piece. I used the fade to colour when changing location or time to inform the viewer that a change is taking place. for example when it transitions between jeppe's house to Abdul's house.

I also used some other effects to improve the final piece. for example the scene when Abdul passes out and wakes up dazed and disorientated, i added on the focus effect which blurs the screen to make him looked dazed. i did this to portray the fact that Abdul is dizzy and doesn't know where he is which shows the audience that he is struggling. 

This is the scene where Abdul is disorientated. i chose focus because it was the best option from the blur effects and also the blur was in the shape of an eye so it was ideal for use because we were showing it from Abdul's point of view. i decreased the amount of focus used because it didn't look too good with 50.0 because too much of the screen was blurred out and you couldn't see what was going on in the shot, so i reduced it 30.0 and increased the softness by a bit to get the right amount of blur but able to tell what is going on in the shot.
