Editing!

We have been editing small parts of our film for a few weeks now but we are finally putting all the individual clips together. We have been using the editing programme Final Cut Pro to edit our clips together. This year we have become more experienced in using this software and have learned a lot of new ways to edit.

Last year we used the programme only to cut our clips and put them together into a sequence. This year we have inserted shapes, colours and pictures to create a realistic news report. We have also played around with the effects available on the programme. We have used an effect called 'Bad TV' which adds a static effect onto the film, to create our CCTV style shots.

Perhaps the biggest challenge we faced was editing the green screen work we did for the news report. We had an issue with our original green screen footage as there were shadows and light blotches behind the subject with stopped the editing from working. We re-filmed and overcame this problem and managed to create a realistic news report.

We have also played with sound; deleting parts we don't need and using effects to fade it out. Once we have edited our whole film we will add extra sound effects in Garage Band.
