THE MEATING - Complete!

Finally finished the final edit of our one shot film, The Meating! I am pleased with the result!

I actually created two main edits and got my family and friends to critique what i had done, and they seemed to prefer the one which i have uploaded! I hope this is popular opinion!

When editing The Meating, i wanted to give the scene a realistic, empty sound much like in real mens bathrooms. I did this by actually editing the mp3 file i used as a soundtrack and using Adobe Premieres lowpass tool to remove certain frequencies of the song and i just applied a massive reverb aswell to make it sound as though it was echoing through the room. These two effects, combined with lowering the level of the MP3 in conjunction with the film created a perfect ambience for my film. When the homosexual enters the toilets, i used keyframes to slowly make the screen become tinted red and even more so when the "well-endowed" individual enters! The accompanying Barry White soundtrack seemed to fit the mood and helps carry the humour.

When reviewing the footage, i noticed a couple of frames had been dropped during certain parts of the film, however i liked the effect this had as they are actually in places that fit the music and so i kept them in to keep in touch with the overall strange feel of the piece. I like The Meating very much as there is such a contrast from the beginning of the film to the end of the film, it really shows how a simple situation can change in such a short time!

Link will follow when its finished processing!
