Meeting #7 Editing our sequence !

Because of a incident that happend
on final cut (our project dissapeard)
our group firstly had to import our
sequence back onto the computer.
So we did this, and then straight
after we began marking the parts
and putting them together in the
right order again.

While editing, we thought about the
feedback we got from our class.
We focused on editing the forest
scene first, because there were 
many comments/complaints on
 that part of our sequence. So we
basically tried shortening each of
the walking shots(of Daniel and 
Alex as detectives). We found that
it looked less boring without the huge
amount of walking, we also decided
that we will be adding more action
to that particular scene. 

While editing, we figured out something
interesting and new. We found out that

you could change the size of the part

and that you could enlarge it to see it 

better. We also discovered a much

quicker way to trim and cut away

middle bits inbetween shots, this

while hopefully make our editing much

more quicker. 

We then moved onto the killer scene.

We decided that the close ups in the

scene would look really effective if they

were to go faster than usual, to show that

the killer is trying to get something done

as soon as possible.

 I really learnt a lot from this meeting and I enjoyed it
very much. The programme final cut is slowly becoming
more and more familiar to me, and as we edit i'm 
learning all kinds of adjustments. In a way i'm glad
we had to start over, this is because what we did
looked better than the first, this is probably because
we knew exactly what we wanted.







While editing we found a passing time 
effect, which we placed between 
certain shots so that the audience
don't get confused.



At the start I was  teaching Alex

how  to cut out parts and I was helping

him and Daniel put it together.

We decided it would be fair if we

were to take it in turns to edit the

shots  etc.


Final cut I found was a much easier and better programme to use for our opening sequence.
Imovie was the first software I used for our
preliminary "Feed the fish" task. I have noticed
my editing skills have improved since our preliminary task.


While editing, me and my group practised 
many ways of editing. We saved our project three times, one using short and fast shots and the other was longer with not so many fast cuts.
We did this just because we wanted to try new ways of editing, but as well as keep the original looking sequence. 




I personally find editing fun and I like learning the new effects of it as we go along. While editing me and my group decided that we needed other certain things to be done.

We found it hard to sometimes hear the
audio/dialogue so therefore we thought it
would be best to use voice overs, also the
lighting in some shots wasn't as clear as 
it could've been, so therefore my group
will take them shots again and then edit them
back into the story order.
We also spoke about ideas for our sound/credits & titles, as we haven't yet had time to get started in these areas, but sure will
in our next editing meeting.
