Editing Process So Far

We began the editing process by watching through our clips and labeling what we thought were our best clips.  Also, we marked in some of the longer clips so that when we returned to use that clip we would know what part of the clip we wanted to use.  We laid our chosen clips on the timeline in chronological order so that we had a basic beginning middle and end.  We then started checking continuity and cut down/lengthened clips so that they flowed better.

When we weren't long into the editing process I think we all realised that some of our shots didn't work or weren't filmed as we'd imagined or that we'd missed out a shot that we hadn't thought of in between a change of scene.  Also, some of our shots were filmed as it started getting dark so aren't as good quality as other shots and we rushed them slightly to get all the shots in, so we didn't have enough shots to choose from.  Any of these issues are bound to affect our final product, however we have tried and will continue to try and create the film we envisioned and overcome any issues we come across.


Recently Perpe has researched Final Cut Pro techniques in response to effects and looks we want to give our clips but couldn't seem to achieve through experimentation.  This will improve the results we get at the end of the rest of our lessons and hopefully our film's final look will be something we are proud of.

We've had ups and downs, but in the end we've always ended the lessons with something we can all agree on and are happy with.
