Editing

We looked at the clips that we had edited so far and worked out what things that we could improve. We used many fades as it worked really well with our theme and the story. The different things that we could use on imovie really helped us with our editing and creating the right amount of effects. We found using imovie a great learning experience. All the effects were new and constantly improving our tecnical skills. We finalised our sequence and made sure everything including audio was perfect

Editing

We loaded up our brand new footage that we had onto imovie. The one member of our group that new how to use imovie had left us so we had to learn how to use it. We edited the footage and arranged it with the music and made sure that we had improved on everything that was said in the showcase. We have realised how much the showcase has helped with our improvement. On imovie we learnt how to use such effect such as fade in and fade out and how to adjust the brightness. This editing lesson has been the best editing lesson so far.

A BIG PROBLEM

At the end of the showcase we found out that a member of our group is going away for the final week that we have left to complete everything. Our group did panic and we decided to make do with what we had. We needed to re film a part of the film so that we could build up a part of the girl. We decided to do this so that when the audience see the girl getting run over they have a connection witht he character and immediatly react. We  felt that this was one of the main problems that we discoverd in the showcase. Sophie and Vicky took the camera to Vicky's house and filmed the new parts that they needed to film.

Show case feedback

Good points

• Good and clear lighting
• Good climax at the end
• Good and clever credits used on props

Points of improvement

• Music didn't go properly
• Too many straight cuts
• Some pointless shots
• Couldnt see girl in window at end
• unclear storyline at points
• Timing of fast cuts is unusual
• Bad Title
• Build up girls character

The showcase helped us to really see what we needed to focus on. We have understood our areas of weakness and now know what we need to work on improoving. The class gave us great feedback and we have taken all of their points into consideration. We wish that we could have had the opportunity to showcase the sequences earlier as now there is not that much time to adjust the footage.

Rough video for showcase

By the time this lesson came around we were unsure about the music and the way that we chose to edit the whole sequence.
