Editing Update- Dani

-We spent much of our lesson time as well as our free periods to complete the editing of our film and are nearly finished. We moved our clips onto the programme final cut because we were told that it would provide us with more material to work with, ie. brightening up shots that came out slightly dark. Although we found it harder to use than imovie, we got used to it and found that it was beneficial for our film.

-Once all the shots were put together and cut, we decided what sounds needed to be added in order to make it more clear to the audience. We have used two different songs in the film to be played where relevant, however inbetween these we have just used normal sound affects. The two songs 'Wherever you will go' and 'Five years time' were both selected because they fit in with the theme, 'Wherever you will go' a more romantic style and 'Five years time' more upbeat.

-As a group we have all found our strengths and worked on things individually which worked well and we are pleased with the end result of the film.

- Using the editing software, we managed to create different transitions, styles and lengths for certain shots which worked out well.

-Although we have nearly finished the film, we found it difficult to meet the deadline on time as we had to spend several days filming/re-filming. It was also hard to get the computer to do the editing as other groups were also using it to make their film.

  1. There are good explanations of process here, and you should make sure you use your experience of having to shift to final cut in your evaluation for the portfolio and for the exam section 1A. Try to give examples of actual continuity techniques used and use as many terms as possible.
