Editing 3

We started working on the map this week, we chose the pictures and worked out where on the map they would fit with the shots that we have. On photoshop we imported a still frame of our film (from Final cut), and the pictures we were going to layer on top of the map. We did this four times, one for each of the locations. With the photo layered on top of the still frame we used the rubber tool to rub out parts of the picture. For example in one still the picture overlapped his thumb so we used the rubber tool to rub out the picture to be able to see him thumb in the layer beneath. This made it look more realistic.
This was very time consuming as we had to chose an image that was the same as the footage to come. Later in the week we decided to use an image, not the photo we had taken at the time, but a still of the footage. This was also time consuming.

We made the images black and white on photoshop before putting them onto the map. This made the map look more real and authentic. However I think that they should have stayed in colour as the footage that followed was in colour. As it runs at the moment it goes from a black and white image into colour footage, I think having a colour image as well would have enforced the sense of continuity and make it look more real.
