Construction: day 2

During the second day we decided that we start making the sounds that we would have playing during our film. The software that we we used to make the music come together was garage band. we are quite new to garage band so it took us a while for us to get to grips with it and we didn't really know what music sound would go well with each other and the video. 

Construction: Editing day 1

Today was our first day of filming. the things we did during today's lesson were all the basics we basically got all of our footage and then trimmed them so that they would work well together and then we would the put them together. One probably that we did come across was that when we would play back the clips half of the footage would be clipped out but hen we eventually come up with a solution in which we had to keep on rendering the clips together .

Construction : Editing clips using final cut express

During today's lesson we were given some clips in which we were told to edit them by using final cut express. This was the first time we had used final cut to edit anything. We were taken through the basics during the editing such as cutting clips, importing sounds and adding titles. From the clips we altered the order they were filmed in to create a film that worked well to the right is a picture of my movie whilst i was editing it in final cut pro. Once it was put together it was not a brilliant piece of film as the filming was done quickly so it was not that easy to put together as well so the filming was to blame.

Research: Final Cut Express

Now that my group have got all our clips that we need for our filming we will now be going onto the editing stage which we will do using the final cut express software. By using final cut it will enable the group to use all the function that are on the software which are very helpful. Some of the functions that are available for us during the editing are things such as editing the sound, cutting clips, colour corrections, titles over the image etc. Final cut is such a good software that it is even used to edit professionally and has been used in quite popular films such as The social network. Final cut is a very good software but it also comes with quite a high price off around £500. The other different functions that are available to users whilst using final cut are - Multichannel Audio Editing, Unified importing, Streamlined share, Dual viewing screens, RED camera support, Copy and paste attributes, One step freeze frames, Flexible clip connections, Drop shadow and Enhanced compound clips. As you can see final cut has a lot of features other then the ones i have named.  

Filming: complete

Today we have finished all of our filming and got all the shots that we needed for our film. we are now in a position where we will be able to start our editing using final cut pro.
