Difficulties When Editing

Difficulties When Editing

We used iMovie to edit our opening. An issue we found with editing was creating a glitch in the bathroom scene. We tried to resolve it by looking at tutorials on YouTube, however we found them difficult to follow. We eventually managed to create a glitch, switching between two images on screen, by quickly alternating between the masked lady and a shot of Evie with her head down.

Another issue we found with editing was our timing as we had filmed a lot so we needed to spend a long time selecting the best ones. After we had selected our clips we then needed to cut them down so that our clip was not over two minutes. This slowed the editing process down because we had to make sure the continuity was in order to make the images flow, and to insure there were no jumps.

Rough Cuts

Rough Cuts

Here are some of our rough cuts from our first and second days filming.

We decided not to use them for various reasons. 

• Firstly, if we kept all of the shots our opening would be too long. 
• Secondly, the framing of the shots and the lighting was off, especially when filming Evie getting up from the table and the top of her head is out of the shot. 
• Thirdly, the mise-en-scene wasn't good enough, specifically the 'Malt Wheaties' and the car and wheelie bins at the end of the video.
