Editing

In the past few lessons we have been working on editing our opening sequence and preparing the documents for scanning so we can get then out up on all of our blogs. We have finished quite a lot of the editing of our sequence and are working at the speed we would like to be. We have the majority of our work done and just have to finish up a few small pieces of work but we can easily do this if we carry on the way we have been working.

Editing continued

As Efosa knows how to work the Final cut the best we have decided to make him the main editor. But every lessons either Me, Chloe or Jade will hep and give him our ideas. So while Efosa is doing the editing we are doing the theroy work and updating blogs etc. We are a quarter of the way through editing our film and I think is coming together very well so far.

editing our Opening Sequence 2

When we started editing on Final cut, not one of the members in our group understood how to use the program. We begun to cut our clips and got them into the right order etc, and now we have found another editing program which is easy to work, and currently are editing our sequence, it is going well.

Editing our Opening Sequence

Last week in media we started to edit our opening sequence. we was find the program Final Cut very hard to use because we was trying to put different cuts between each shot but the program wasn't working properly.

Because of this we decided to use a different program that we can edit on which we found easier to use. it took us a while to get used to using the program but at the end of the lesson we got through a quarter of the sequence.

Editing

Today we have started to edit our Opening Sequence. We are working on Final Cut Express where we have been cutting and chopping all our different shots to start to fit them all back together for our final opening. We need to start to speed up a bit as we are behind everyone else. Efosa is the person who is best with the editing as he was the main person who edited our Preliminary Sequence. We are al helping out and working as a team to edit the piece. It is all starting to come together so the group is very excited. We now need to start thinking about the music and sound effects for our Opening which we will find on Garage Band.

Group Discussions

We have discussed the various different elements that we need to focus on for a opening sequence. We have came to various conclusions with setting, costumes, props. We are filming in the setting of Jess' house, we have chosen the outfits to match the personalities of the characters so Jade and Efosa wore black to show their creepy evil personalities and Jess wore her white shirt to show her purity but Jade put red and black make-up on her to show how she had corrupted how innocent she was. The main prop we used was the knife which helped the audience to establish the genre of the film.

Group Filming

After filming on Sunday, we realised that we needed to do some extra filming as various parts of the filming weren't as we wanted them to be and we needed a few more shots so we had a variety to choose from. Now that we have got the extra shots, I think our editing will be easier. We worked well as a group and we were very quick with the filming of the shots. It was overall a productive session, so we now need to get on with our editing.
