The Editing Sequence..

With Jemma absent, James and me were left to edit the 5 minutes of action we had. After having difficulty loading it onto the Mac's we quickly starting deleting shots and sequences that we didnt need anymore. This only left us with 63 seconds of good footage. I found the Mac's difficult to use because we never really used them in GCSE Media so this was one of my first times using them, i honestly struggled.

So after alot of cutting, and even more concentration we started to get a rough plan of how long it was going to be, what order the shots were in and how to keep the editing smooth! Where James was more used to iMovie than me, he did most of the editing and i was watching and learning but by the end of it i had made a fair contribution to the final project. iMovie was a brand new program to me and i was completely clueless to it when James first opened it, although after a few lessons i now feel that i have an idea of how to use it.

I feel that we stuck to the rules very well and that our final project did flow. However Ms Lynch suggested some changes and then we did them fine (: That's when we thought we had finished and our video was ready to be uploaded to our blogs. Until in the next lesson Miss Cunliffe told us there was more to edit! After all the discussions, all the planning, shooting and editing we made a brave decision and went out and filmed from the start again..
