 In the editing process, I added the video files to premiere pro and cut them to the suitable length. Afterwards, I then changed the colour of the video to black and white.  The settings: This was because I wanted it to look like an old "found footage" "haunted tape" style (like the way the tapes on the All Hallow's Eve movie look). Afterwards I then cut random parts of the clip and either deleted them or cut two sections in a row and deleted one of them and copy and pasted the other to give a buffering effect. 

 The place I filmed my video was at my house as thats where the production was set. This was for all of my short film not just parts of it. The only part that included outside (which didn't end up being in the video due to complications already mentioned/mentioned later) was in my front garden when the clown entity was outside, looking in the window but it was still recorded from the camera inside.  The equipment I used was a Cannon camera for filming. For mise-en-scene- wise, what I used was my phone, sfx/ clown makeup (ended up not being in the tester) and my LED lights. I did't bother with excessive natural light due to the time of day and that it was going to be in black and white and was meant to have a dark atmosphere.  The production activity that happened was filming multiple shots and checking lighting. I also checked the shots and audio. Unedited files. Photo of the clown makeup.

  What do you feel were your strengths in sourcing y our audio and why?   My strengths in sourcing audio was researching and finding suitable audios, both diegetic and non-diegetic.  What areas would you like to improve on when sourcing audio in the future and why?   What I would like to improve on is learning how to find downloadable, suitable audio on youtube. This is because it was hard to find suitable audio that had a download link.  What do you feel were your strengths when creating your own audio and why?   My strengths in creating my own audio were adapting to the fact that i had to use my iphone and the voice notes app on that and also using tools around me to create the noise (clown horn). I feel like these are a strength because it shows the ability to adapt to things going wrong in production.  What areas would you like to improve on when creating your own audio in the future?   The areas i could of improved on was trying to make it so...

 I imported audio files from bbc sound and youtube using mp3. The sounds from BBC Sound were then found in Apple Music after importing them into downloads.After that, I then unlinked the audio that comes with the video (simply by pressing the unlink option after left clicking), I then dragged the downloaded audio onto premier pro underneath the visuals. To actually edit the audio, I highlighted the audio clip I wanted and then clicked on the audio option at the top. I then worked out which sound it was that I was editing out of audio 1,2 and 3. Afterwards I then moved the dials on sound setting.(example/picture here:  ) I moved the dial to change the audio volume to the appropriate level so it fit the video. After adjusting all of the audio to the right volume, I then changed the speed and pitch of parts of the audio to give the desired effect of making the short video looking and sounding like an old cassette "haunted" style film. picture here:  But unfortunately, the la...
