Firstly, Liv and I realised that the credits that other members of the group had integrated under the plate in the males sequence and behind the head of the females sequence did not run smoothly across the screen. The credit under the plate appeared on top of the plate instead of appearing to have been hidden underneath it which ruined the representation we had tried to create around the credits. The same had happened with the credits behind the females head when she is lying down as the text begun too far right on the screen so by the time her head had been fully rolled the credit should still have been hidden underneath it. Therefore, we fixed both of the credits together moving them both and blading them frame by frame to ensure they rolled smoothly along the screen.
Next, I had realised that there was a continuity issue with the male character walking outside from the kitchen to the females room as we had filmed it as a hand held shot. We had not realised before that this was a POV shot from the females perspective even though she had not yet reached the window. As we didn't have any other footage of the male walking across the driveway, I decided to crop each clip to remove the windowsill so it no longer looked like a POV shot. When I played this back there was still an issue that the shot was shaky as it was a handheld shot so it wasn't static. I used the stabilisation option to steady the shot instead.
Due to having to change these shots, I realised that I had removed the window from the females narrative which as a group we specifically wanted to keep. This is because it symbolises the barriers between her and the outside world and highlights how isolated and trapped she is. To keep this I added a short clip of the handheld shot that showed the garden after she had looked out of the window so it appeared as an eye line match.
After this I realised that the sound in the second half didn't sound right when it faded out as it meant the sound rose and fell too many times before the final climax. Therefore, I extended the sound file and faded it into the layering that I had done previously. this meant there was no silence in the second half of the sequence so it was more of a juxtaposition to the first half.
