Editors Journal- Peter Otuwehinmi

Today I started with the editing just to see the footage we had so far. Unfortunately the footage wasn’t good enough to be edited. The main problem was the fact that there were soon many mistakes with the camera work and acting, moreover the tap we used was damaged therefore the quality of film wasn’t good at all. Although there were a few shots that were saved onto the pc. As they were the best shots we had at the time, which was the scene where we have one of our characters leaning against the wall and noticing our protagonist walking past. Apart from that we needed to re-film the whole thing again so that we could change the tape, and correct some of the mistakes that were made during filming.

Today I started editing again. This footage we had now was much better than before. The camera work was better and the mistakes made during the 1st filming were corrected. While cropping the footage we had we started to notice some hitches within the acting although these could still be hidden by editing. I managed to get the first 30 second of the film done to a reasonable standard. With this I started to explore the software of final cut pro more. I figured out how to change the speed of the clips moreover I also figured out how to change the lighting of the film, in addition to crop the image so that objects we have captured within the shot that were not meant to be there can be eliminated.

Today I got a lot of the editing done, due to the fact that I now have more knowledge through experience on the software, I managed to get a lot of editing done. How ever we got up to the part where our protagonist gets caught b y her pursuer and receives her text book. He figured that this scene was not that good and would need re filming.

I Finlay received the tape wit the re-filming done, and we managed to put everything into place, now all that needed to be done was add music.

Today i Finlay added transitions to the film. I learnt this by the assistance of others that have more experience with the software of final cut pro. they showed me how to do one transition and i did the rest. what was left to do was choose the music for the film. orginonally i tried to make some music with layers from different sounds using soundtrack pro for the chase scene, but due to the advise of someone that would fall into the target audience for our film, the music didn't go well with the chase scene, so i chose a ready made beat for the chase scene instead, which worked out much better.
