During our short film edit, Tiago took screenshots at various stages to show our thought process behind how we pieced together scenes from our film. For our movie, we had a soundtrack that we thought would match the vibe of the movie. To do this, we searched for classical and cinematic music on websites with royalty-free sounds. In the end, we found a track that we thought would work the best called Sailing Away by Shane Ivers. When editing a movie, Tiago first puts the video clips in order, shows the plot, then cuts those clips and cuts them, to show the best part of the scene and cut to the beat. . In addition to the sound of the music, we have also included an excerpt from the bible verse “Love thy Neighbour”, which is related to the title of our film. This is placed at the end of the movie to end the message we want to convey; you should preach the gospel with love because telling others they are going to hell will decrease the chances of them ever seeking God.

Here we have chosen to alternate scenes of serenity and chaos to represent the binary opposition of faith and interpretation found in religion, especially Christianity. We obtained these riot footage through a search of royalty-free stock footage footage because we believe using an actual recorded event will have more impact on The message of prejudice and homophobia being expressed through our film. Plus, we think these clips in particular would work better, as they match the colour grading of the film, with the flames recreating the sunsets in dreamy sequences and the warm tones of the rows of church chairs.

To go with said passage of scripture, we have chosen the scene where the couple read and showed the Bible as the final shot as it not only represents the passage we are referring to, but also refers to the idea that a strong faith . able to withstand trials and hardships caused by those who show hostility to others. Here, Tiago added a diagonal blur to smoothly transition from the violence and chaos of the riots to the peaceful final scene.

Finally, I added a credits scene at the end of our movie, which showed our names, movie title, royalty free music, actor names, and our school name. This was converted to with a crossfade, as well as the end of the credits. It also attenuates the music to give the movie a gradual ending, using an ever-increasing sound effect.
