The definition which applies to the transitions I will be using is number 1.
What I will be doing during my editing process is linking clips of video recording into a logical order, or an order which would reflect my chosen genre, which is horror, for example, a random view of disturbing images to invoke a fear response amongst the audience.
Some examples of transitions would be:

-Blinds horizontal/vertical
-Fade to black
-Fade
-Box in/out
-Dizzolve
-Checkers horizontal/vertical
-Split (from bottom, up etc)
-Wipe
-Circle


Examples of slide transitions, using microsoft powerpoint.





Also in iMovie, you an put a 'wash' over certain clips in order to create certain effects such as 'antique' or 'black and white'...here are some examples of how a photograph can be manipulated in order to create different effects. The first far left picture is the original photograph.

Reseach and planning: Film poster draft

This is a draft of my film poster, I have edited the picture by changing the colour variations, and adding more contrast and gamma correction.
I'm not entirely sure that this is the sort of photograph or font I am going to use for the poster, I will have to play around with ideas.

Reesearch and Planning: Update

Our group has begun the filming process. We filmed on the 10th and 12th December around the locations Becky chose. We also took a lot of photographs for our magazines and film posters. We managed to film the chase scenes, the disappearing scenes and shots of our faces to add horror. We still need to film the college scenes of Brendon, which will commence on the 15th December.

Research and Planning: Auditions

As I have had a few absences, I have missed a couple of group meetings meaning i've missed the discussions of dates to start filming and casting. However, in todays meeting I was filled in with the dates of filming, which aren't a problem.
The group held auditions (left) and have decided on which actors to feature in our teaser trailer. The people we have decided to cast in the film are myself and Becky as the main characters, as we both have experience in the drama department, and Anika as one of the characters at the beginning who goes missing, so that she can them help with filming after her characters absence. Meg, Steph and Brendon have also agreed to feature in the teaser trailer to help with star and help with the filming process.

The following photographs are the actors we will be using:
