'Film Editing is Now Something Almost Everyone Can Do At a Simple Level and Enjoy It'

DAY ONE:
The first day we edited we decided that this was the time we should edit the Olivia section all together. This took its time as besides from the preliminary task we had never used final cut pro before so it meant having to get used to all the different features and functions of the software. Eventually we were able to get a rough sequence together and work on the lighting and colour effects we wanted in this scene of the film.

DAY TWO:
We watched back the footage from the previous day and decided that we didn't like the part where the Dad is talking to Olivia and reading the story. We decided to make it more interesting for the audience we would cut in between the two shots, almost like a reverse shot which worked really effectively. We also tried out different music that we wanted in our background during this time but couldn't decided on one because half of our ideas where too happy and the other half made it feel like a horror!

DAY THREE:
After getting back the footage of the card we edited this into our film, using the ripple effect between the card in the bedroom and the card in the street. We also decided that we needed to slow down the walking bit in town as it was all very quick and so we used the slow motion effect which made a massive difference overall. On this day we also chose music, titles and main title and put these into our film.

After watching it all back, although we were not the strongest group in the class I think our progression from preliminary has been massive and I am ultimately very proud of all the work and effort we have put in, even if it did lead to a few silly arguements within the group!
