We had plans to re-shoot some shots as well to make the film better, but when we came to do so, our actor was out busy. This set us back a day, and we couldn't use another day to film because we had a lot of re-editing to do, which went quite smoothly. I will talk about this below.
The film title that appears at the end was boring. It is just a plain white title, and nobody liked it, so we changed it. Like the credits, we managed to hunt down a different font, one that added depth and interest to the title and made it look more appealing to the viewers. This was important as it is means that the film gives off a more effective feel and it fits in with the storyline narrative better.
Our rough cut had no end credits, so we started to do that. We pulled in the template and then filled in a number of job roles and matched them all with names. The starting font was plain and uninteresting, so we decided to look for different styles to improve the look of the credits.
Charlotte has finished the ident, so she put it onto a memory stick and then onto the mac so we could then attach it to the front of our film. We started to edit it and shorten it down to about 4 seconds, roughly, removing the start because it was silent and it seemed better with just the explosion.
At the end of the rough cut, there was a sequence at the very end where a paper boy walks up to the house and puts a paper in the letterbox, to show how anything could be happening in the house and nobody can know what it is. However, the group's feedback told us that the sequence needs removing, as it was hard to understand what it was trying to achieve, it went over the 5 minute mark and it looked out of place.

And the final part of the re-editing process was the soundtrack. The sound was not finished on the rough cut, so Dan had chance now to have a few more hours and review the parts he'd done and edit the parts he hadn't so we had a completed film that we could show to the class.
