EDITING
Monday 23rd January
We started editing the clips together in our media lesson today. Neither of us have used iMovie to edit anything before, but so far it has been fairly simple and we have managed to put all the clips in the right order and cut them down. We have decided to stay behind after school tomorrow to continue editing and we are hoping to get the rough cut done by the end of the week.

We carried on editing and managed to edit most of the clips to the length and order we want them to be. We also decided to cut some of the shots taken on my camera as the quality was really bad. Luckily we had shot the
most important parts with Bec's camera so the film still makes sense. The shots that we did keep from my camera look quite different from the others so we tried to fix this by adjusting the colour and brightness. It's better but still not great.

We finished our rough cut in class. When we start editing properly we will add in music, titles and hopefully make the editing a little bit smoother. As well as this, we got feedback that we should add in something that makes the girl fall down and also make sure the audience know the significance of the photos and the website at the beginning. We uploaded our rough cut to youtube and hopefully we can get started on the final film now.

Today we added in titles and started adding in music and sound effects. We tried to use a few tracks so we could use different parts and add them into fit with the footage. We will hopefully be improving this next time and working of the feedback sheet we were given.

Today we finished up editing by adding in the production logo at the beginning and adding in finishing touches.
