The main problem we had when creating our film was filming in the day time, when it wasn't dark like a typical horror film. This did not comply with conventions as usually horror films are shot at night time. We had originally planned to make it look like it was dusk, and gradually getting darker. However with light clearly shining through the windows, it made it impossible to pursue this idea. We experimented in Final Cut using the 'Hue and Saturation' tool, attemtpting to create the feel of night time. We accentuated the blue tones in the footage to give the impression of dusk. Yet, after a lot of trial and error, we decided the film ended up looking cheap and 'wet'.
Because of this we decided to change our script ever so slightly, drawing inspiration from the films 'Scream.' 'Scream' is an iconic horror/slasher film which has a large proportion of it filmed in the day time. So we decided rather than using an over-effected, poor looking film, we decided to keep our film during the day time.
There was one clip where we had to adjust the hue/saturation levels and accentuate the blues. In the previous clip the girls face had a blue tint to it, because of the TV next to her. So by creating a blue tint on the next clip, we could successfully achieve continuity editing.
