Editing Day 1 (13/10/10)

In our first day of editing we had already got everything captured that we had filmed so far, so we started going through what we had filmed.
We the decided to start at the beginning of the video and work through it like that, so this was our plan.

At this point in time we didn't have Emily and Joe's filming yet from the beginning so we uploaded this.

Editing:

1. Firstly, we seperated the footage of that particular section from the rest on the timeline so we were able to look more closely at it.

2. Next, we then started by roughly cutting out shots that were no use (these included shots that didn't work and bloopers). This made it easy to look and begin editing. We started off from the beginning of the song, which were the flashback we were all involved it at Bigs House.

3. After many attempts of reducing the lengths of each shot, we managed to perfectly time them to the timing that we had originally wanted (approximatley one second each).

5. Then, using the effects tool we highligted our footage and dragged the black & white effect onto it, so that our footage would now appear this way (as we want our flashbacks to be in black and white).

6. We then had an idea about adding a white dip between every shot for a dramatic effect. We played around with how long we thought it should last, but in the end we decided as a group that it had more of an impact when it was extremely short and snappy.

We were happy with what we had produced and set us up with excitiment for how the rest of the video could go and look! We also found editing was fine once we got going, we rememebered how to use the different buttons.

Bring on the rest of the editing!
