Editing

When we first started editing our film we was doing it in final cut express and as time continued on we was finding it harder and harder to do it so as a group we decide to change it over to movie. Another reason was because we was over hearing how hard it was to add affects and titles as a group we talk about if it would be better for us to change over and everyone agree the main reason why we all agreed was because of timing, timing was a big deal to us because we didn't want to be doing the film at the last minute. Another thing that we was worried about was the fact was we going to be able to produce the type of opening that we wanted on final cut express, and with the effects on imovie being easier to work with, and them effects being the effects that we wanted. When we was going to convert it over we was worried about many things like ' what if it doesn't convert over' ' What if we loose the changes we have made when we are converting it over' we had many worries about converting it over so to make sure that we didn't loose any of the progress that we had made we saved it on two of the groups memory sticks just in case but in the end we done it and now we have ended up with a really good opening.

By using imovie was able to get the editing done alot quicker and also it was much easier for us to edit. We all tried editing the opening and by doing this in my point of view made the opeing much better than if only one person had done it , the reason why i think this is because we all had a range of ideas of what we thought it should be like and when we put them all together it seemed to work out.

In imovie we had a wider range of different affects that we could add into our opening for instance at the beginning of the film we have a girl having flashbacks of when she was running through the woods away from the person why was chasing her,for us to make this look more affective we added a flashback effect and when we played it back it really did look like a flashback but we made a few changes by changing the contrast  to a much brighter setting and also we changed the colours around and made it much duler. When we was going through all the footage that we had shot we had to decide what we wanted to keep and what we wanted to get rid of, over the weeks when we was editing we keeped changeing the footage that we was going to use we keeped having different ideas of what we need to use and what would look godd next to each other.

If we didnt changed our movie over to imovie i dont think our opening world of came out the way that we wanting to but in the end i think overall we have produced a really good opening and that we should all be proud of.
