Finished Editing

YAYYYYY.


We have finally finished editing the film, after almost a week of working on the project and making small changes as we go along to shape our sequence the way we wanted it to work. Overall, I am very happy with the final product and hope everyone else is to as we have worked hard to achieve it.

Editing Continued

Today we decided that we would spend another whole day editing as this is a time consuming process and we need to ensure that it is all completed by the deadline date. We achieved quite a lot today, these include:

• Adding the flashbacks into the extract
• Using special effects to create flashbacks- this mainly involved using a black and white wash over them to create the change in time
• Cutting through and making space for where the titles will go 

We have now finished editing all of the footage we filmed and are ready to add in titles and the music to the extract. Therefore the next few days will consist of finding suitable font and music to go with our filmed footage.

Editing Our Film

Today we did some of the editing for our film, which mainly consisted of cutting down the large parts of footage within the basement. Here, we cut long footage into smaller bits using the razor and drag tools. This is because we need to make space for the credits to go in, therefore we have to include these half way through footage.

It was quite challenging as we had to ensure our cuts followed a pattern of continuity which meant making changes and playing it over and over until we got it right. This was quite time consuming, yet so far we are happy with what we got done.

Editing Schedule

Now that we have finished all of the filming and gone through the selection of footage we need, it is time for us to make an editing schedule for the next couple of days so we can start to edit the film as we do not have a long time left to finish the project. Below is the origional email that we sent out to each group member today with all of the details for the editing schedule.

Footage Breakdown

So now that we have finished filming all of the footage we need for the different parts of the film, we decided to go through what we filmed and eliminate footage which wasnt needed and keep the ones we needed ready for editing.

There was quite a lot to get through as we filmed many takes of each sequence to ensure we had enough to work with in the editing process, yet we managed to cut it down to around 20clips in total.
