Editing

We had to edit our films and shots to create a smooth two minute film. We had numerous shots and lots to work with which we decided to do when filming so that we would have alternatives to chose from.

this was a fairly simple process to do and no problems really took place apart from the computer freezing.

To get the sort of 2 minute film we wanted we decided we would have short shots which moved quite quickly and therefore this meant we would have to do lots of cutting of about half an hours worth of film, this means it was long and took a lot of thought about which shots worked better together.

Voice overs- Also after watching what we had filmed we noticed that the speech was not fitting with the lip movements of the characters so we decided we should use voice overs to make it look better and create a better film. For the voice overs Perry and Sam had to sit in a quiet room so there would be minimal background sounds that would interfere. They had the scripts and new what they were saying and what had to be retouched up. They then editing what voice overs they wanted and put them on the film bar as a sound in the right place and it was sorted. There was only one voice over that could of been done better as it was slight out of time but it was very hard to try and get the timing because the speaking was quicker at this point than any other.

Sound-we used a website that gave us lots of different clips that we could use for our video. we picked two basic different clips, one for Perry which was disco dancing music to fit his character and then a latino sounding clip for Sam which also fitting his character. We have music playing throughout the whole two minutes but when we put it on the film bar we could change the volume so we made the sound quieter when we had talking and louder for dancing or other bits.
