Editing-Day 1 and Day 2!

Day 1:

Before we even started editing, we were having some trouble getting the film onto the computer and we couldnt figue out what went wrong but our teacher helped us, and now we know how this works properly. We started editing our film a little bit earlier than our timeline has told us to follow becauyse we had completed the filming in the half term. James is the expert of our group with editing but me and Rachel cut down the bits of film we didn't need to use and then renamed the film parts and then put them in order.

After doing this, James helped us cut down the scenes even more to try and take away unneeded seconds of film such as the part where the mobile phone was filmed, we put down originally on the storyboard that it was a 5-10 second clip but in the end we could eventually cut that down to about 3-4 seconds.

I have got the hang of using the software to cut pieces of film, saving them and putting them in order using the 'tools' but when it came to thinking about colour, transitions and adding text, I was a bit lost so James and Rachel helped and showed me how to use colours ect in the next lesson.

Day 2:

We all sat around one computer and started editing, but today we started on the colour and titles of the sequence. I think we have decided the font of our titles is going to be quite simplistic so the audience can easily read it but we want to find the perfect font that kind of represents our story in a subtle way.

We were deciding on the speed of the titles and the order so we looked up on the internet at what order titles are shown in films and we are going to follow that layout.
