Progress

These screenshots show my progress when editing my film trailer and pulling the loose strings together. At first i found it hard to get used to the mac's as i had never really used them before, but I soon managed to figure out how to do everything and edit my footage. Some elements of the editing process that I found difficult was the composition of the shots and understanding the layering process when including sound tracks and voice clips. One thing I did learn when editing the footage was how to put a 'time' element on part on the trailer to make it look like a home video. After many attempts of trying to include a red recording dot on to the image to show that it was recording as a home video, it was clear that this was not possible and I had to resort to just using 'timing code' and editing with that feature. I also had a problem overcoming where to situate my music and where it would fit most perfectly with the images that i had used. To overcome this problem, I just had to simply move the music around until i got the right position that fitted my media text.

 

Before editing my footage on Final cut pro i first of all uploaded all of my filming clips on to Imovie. Here is where I cut all my clips and edited the colour scheme to make the images look more sinister and eerie. I then chose to use all of the images I had cut and edited and transfer them to Final cut pro. I decided this because I think that Final cut pro is a better software to use when editing footage as there are more options to do different things. Although Imovie is easier to work with, I wanted to challenge myself to make my media text look even better.
