The Editing Process

We started editing our film trailer on the 11th October, the day after we finished filming. We imported all our videos onto a computer and checked the footage we had gathered, making sure that we could use it. When looking through the footage we noticed that some of the clips wouldn't work well, so we decided to not use these in our film trailer. Luckily, we had filmed a large amount of footage which enabled us to vary our trailer. Once we had checked through the footage, we imported them onto Final Cut Express in preparation of bringing the clips together to form a rough cut (The clips we wanted to use in the order we thought was good). After completing the rough cut, we moved forward onto adding details to the trailer, such as; inter-titles, production company sequence, title sequence, sounds and specific edits for example, cross dissolve. 

We created the production company and title sequences on LiveType. This was relatively easy once you got used to working with the program. I had previously used LiveType in my AS course also, so it didn't take long to get back in the hang of it. I really enjoyed using LiveType, being able to vary in the sorts of fonts and animation to create what's perfect for the film trailer.

We created our soundtrack on the Soundtrack Pro program. I hadn't used this program before so it was relatively new to me. It took a while to get used to it, but got there eventually with the help of my group members.
