Editing
After we cut all of our shots into one movie we started to add text, sound effects, music and a film name. For the text we decided to use a red colour to go with the 'horror' and 'twisted' theme to the movie, we are still unsure with what font to use but for the moment we are using the 'a cold night for alligators.' We installed this font from 'dafont.com', however we believe that we will change this font for our movie in the final draft. For the sound effects, we added footsteps approaching the car. This was at the start on the black screen, to make the screen look like the boot of the car and foot steps approaching it so then the character opens it, that's when the main clip starts. We also added the sound of a ringing telephone to the clip when the character's phone rings. We timed the ringing so that when the character answers the phone, the ringing stops. For the music we decided to have the song 'What A Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong as a contrapunctual piece of music. We used it deliberately as songs like is usually used in happy and humour films but our movie is about a man burrying a body which should not usually have happy music. When the main character answers his phone he turns off the stereo because he cannot hear the person on the other side of the phone, at this point when he turns the stereo off the music turns off as well which then we can hear the dialogue. We did this because we wanted the audience to think the music is non digetic but when he turns the stereo off it makes it seem the music is digetic as it is played form the stereo. We decided to name the film 'Deviance' because it means an abnormal state of mind. This word basically defines our character, he just killed someone and listening to happy music when burrying the body.

Filming
We spent 3 days altogether filming the video, 2 of those days, we did not get much done mainly because of the loss of light but on the last day we decided to start filming earlier in the day to make sure we could film the whole video before it got dark and thankfully we did manage it.
