Editing the recreation of 'The Devil Inside'

Firstly, we opened 'Windows Live Movie Maker' we used this program, as it is easy to use and if used correctly, can look professional. We imported the videos clips of the recreation by clicking on the add videos and images button. We added our video clips from the shared area and put them in order that they were filmed in so that the film flowed in chronological order.


Next we cropped our videos to make our clips shorter. We decided to make the first clip shorter because it ran for too long and it was un-neccessary for the film. We did this by running the first clip for just over a second and then I clicked the split button, by doing this, the shot split in two and we could then delete the part that we no longer wanted which then made the clip the length we wanted.


We then decided that the clip of myself saying "Connect the cuts" wasn't effective in the beginning because I was smiling before I said the dialogue. We split the clip just before I started to speak so it cut out the majority of the laughing and I looked more serious. We then deleted the section that we did not need.


The same thing then happened for the next clip because before I said my line and then smiled. This didn't look effective because it gave off the impression that the line was supposed to be comical, meaning that we wouldn't get the reaction off of the audience that we wanted. We resolved this problem by playing the clip and when I started to say my line we stopped it and split the clip, then deleting the clip we didn't want.


The next clip then didn't follow the original scene because it started to follow up the arm before it was suppose to. We decided the cut the clip just after Charlie had said her line so that the next clip followed on after and looked it looked more effective. We did this the same way by splitting the clip and deleting the section we didn't need.

The next clip had Charlie's voice in the background which made the clip less effective so we decided to mute the volume so the audience wouldn't hear what she was saying. We did this by clicking the volume button and putting it down to mute so that there was no sound in the clip.


For the final clip we split where I scream. We split this because we didn't want the clip to drag on, because this would make the video less effective. So, we decided to split it a few seconds after I move backwards and scream and then deleted it.
