Editing…

February 8, 2010

After updating my last post a few days ago, I worked out there wasn’t really anything about editing and mainly filming from a few weeks ago.

From the beginning of editing I encountered problems. First of all, the problem of filming on two separate cameras and memory cards made even the uploading a difficulty, as I got confused with what filming was on each camera.
Once I had overcame those problems, I soon settled into editing, making sure to do it quite speedily as I was already pretty behind.

I started the editing process by first uploading all my footage from both memory cards and putting them on Final Cut Express.
Already having organised the order of our shots and knowing which ones were successful and not… deciding which ones to use took very little time which was good. Nevertheless though, the ‘successful’ shots weren’t really poor, but… not the best they could have been to make the film not look like it had been made by A level students… as we hoped to make it look as professional as possible! That was just something that was never going to happen though.

From Final Cut then, we were able to shorten a lot of our clips and generally put them in an order we thought was most effective to make the whole time switch thing easier to understand… (scenes from the party being remembered by the friends the morning after (in their dreams) as they all wake up in an unknown location (the ‘shed’)).

(will update this later)
