EDITING

This week was the last chance we had to complete our opening childrens film sequence. We used the three lessons we had to do the editing for our film.
On the first lesson, Sarah Jebb, Aggie Andrews and Lauren Vyse did the editing of the film material. They uploaded all of the film onto final cut. They made sure that all of the shots were in the correct order and that they were the right length.
On the next lesson me, Aggie and Lauren then edited in all of the film credits. We included credits for the Camerawork and the main characters. This was very straight forward. We decided to use red font for the writing for the reason that the film is based around 'The Winter Ball' which takes place around christmas. We then began making the music to go with the film. For the opening shots, we wanted some pretty, magical music. For this we used the program garage band which we found very easy to use. We found some pretty music and incorprated it in the shots we wanted it in. We then found some tense, loud music for the shot where the 'mysterious' boy can be seen. And finally we found some upbeat music for the fast paced sequence where the three girls are seen to be walking through the college. The music that we found, gave the intentional effect we wanted and we were happy with the outcome. This process took us two lessons as it was very strenuous getting the exact music we wanted to use.
We finished our editing on the last day. We completed the soundtrack to the film and then we added transitions in between different shots. We added fades and wipes between different shots because we thought it would be good to keep the transitions simple.
Once we completed our editing, we uploaded our opening sequence onto our blog.
