Construction 3: Editing the footage

The editing process:

• Capture all the footage onto Final Cut Express
• Rename the clips so that it is more organised and makes it easier to then edit the film together
• Pieces of the footage will be spread out across many clips, we then will edit it together using the in and out markers to then insert the footage we want on to the time line, putting it into our film.
• After we have inserted the footage, we used the fade in and fade out effect between some of the lips as well as the ripple effect which was used for the flashback this was all done in Final cut express.
• Then the ident, titles and credits. For the titles we had a black background with red text going across at the beginning of the film. For the credits we used the scrolling feature in final cut express.
• For sound since the camera had a external mic we did not need to over dub any sound e.g. dialogue. Although we did use soundtrack pro for the other sounds that we added into the film.
• Then we exported it as a Quick time movie and uploaded it to You Tube.
