Production: Editing

Once all footage was gathered, we needed to edit the footage so that it was syncronised with the rest of the video, and it all made sense. My partner, Barney, was cheif editor as he was more skilled in this particular field, and so I mainly focused on making small tweaks to the film, and making sure that the footage still maintained the correct timing.

In order to edit the footage we used the Apple Mac program IMovie, this was useful as it was a simple program to use and all footage was simple to find and place into the film.




Our film needed quick cuts and fast editing so in that respect cutting the footage was easy. The main issue we found during the editing process was changing shots so that it would not make other shots out of sync. This proved difficult as we needed to figure out an exact number of frames in each shot as if the timing differed then other set footage would be moved.




To cut the film we simmply used the 'Apple T' Function, and then simply placed the new clip along the timeline where we needed the footage to fit in

Here is a short film describing the editing process.



To share the film we simply imported it using the IMedia program.
