Editing Day 4

The last part of the editing was to add the main title before the film opening which was "Mirage productions presents". For that we again went into the "Adobe After Effects" and selected one of the "animated effects". The above picture explains all

After making the productions title, we simply made another sequence and added it at the first on the timeline.

We kept it simple by keeping the text white and the background, a rusty color.

Editing Day 3 (part 2)

After adding the main titles, now comes the part to add the main films title which was "Insomnia", for that we used one of the conventions, which is "freeze frame". In the above picture we are exporting the part of the footage which we want to freeze frame. 

After adding the title, we then dropped it on the timeline and adjusted the "freeze frame" and again key framed the text.

Editing Day 3 (part 1)

After joining all the clips, the next step was to do the "titling". For that we went into titles. Our requirement was to keep the title a little scary so for that we opt for the text "chiller" and added "stroke" at it's back.

After making the title, we then dropped it on to the timeline (the top most layer of the footage). Then we key framed the text in order to manage it's time duration by changing the opacity on every key frame we added.

Editing Day 2

After completing the "news" editing. The next step was to join all the clips together. Following the storyboards, in the beginning we show her in the abandoned place following with flashbacks. We kept the flashbacks in a little "sepia" color tone and even gave the "vignetting effect" by adding a "black circle" in the edges.

For the sound, we used "latika's theme" from "Slum dog's Millionaire" behind the voice over in the beginning. Then the background sounds we used are from the free source: http://www.freesfx.com/ and the sounds such as the rolling of the bottle and the of puddles, we made our own folly studio and recorded them. Furthermore in editing we used "DeNoiser" in order to remove the "hiss" from the voice over recording and by going into audio effects -"EQ", we simply "equalized" the voice as we recorded it in any empty room .

Our voice over was written by the director "Iqra Haider". After writing it down, we made Samman (the actress) practice it a few times. Eventually, we recorded her saying this entire monologue in a very quite room for less noise pollution.
