After several weeks of editing we have have come to the final stages of finishing our film. Our main concerns have been the music and transitioning. We have a piece of music that fits perfectly with the arrangement of clips we have and the timing is great. Our problem with this though is the rise to the track has a lot of eery horror style synths that make the music seem out of place. I have done my best to cover this up by blending another track over the first few seconds of our song. It seems to fit in much better than it used to. We had some problems when it came to transitioning as we used a lot of fade to black cuts which was very effective at some points but the overall use of them was overkill and we had to tone down the use of fade cuts. We decided we would cut the zipline scene at osgodby completley due to time slots and the fact that it did not suit the film as best as we originally thought it would. Another thing we cut was the wink from eugene that broke the 4th wall. We thought it was too cheesey as well as his ending one liner " Do you know how to spell death?". It seemed like a good idea at the time because it had an inside meaning to us that we found histerical but it seemed like poorley written dialogue to anyone else. So we changed it when we got up to the final scene to " you forgot one thing..." and then Eugene whips his pistol out quickly. George and Will thought it would be a good idea to add black and white freeze frames to introduce the characters in the opening scenes. We went forward with this idea and added them as well as titles that fade in. Eugene's title card shows his name beside him whether as Clyde and Dave show only their actors names as they are not main characters in the film but are crucial to the opening scenes.
