Editing our film

I started to edit our first film , when this was complete me and amy realised we didn't like the appearance of the film, so we decided to re- shoot this as take 2. Again we edited this and when this was complete we also realised that we needed to do another 30 or so shots the make the movie 100% complete. As we came to a finishing point again we realised that there were some faults with the film. We did a third re-shoot with me editing the biggest part of the film as I was the fastest and the most accurate at doing so, this meant that the final shot was the final edit and when I had finished with group confirmation this was finished.

Editing the logo was Gemma's job to do this took around 4 hours when this was complete we  imported this to final cut express to edit into the film as we did this we realised that the image was not large enough to cove the shot frame, to do this I then found the effects and solid colour which was white so that the first shot on screen is this:


this is a 3 second long shot to show the production of the group this stands for Amy Gemma Ashleigh Productions. 

To edit the rest of the film we used over 100 shots to correlate the 2minutes and 10 second film using cuts, fade in and fade out. music and sound bridges, cross fades of the soundtrack and audio of the film to tie this in and make it sound better this also adds effect and suspension to the film.
