Editing

Finally! We've finished filming and are preparing to edit! We have transferred all of our footage onto the Mac and began to edit.

Once we uploaded our footage we realise we had a newer version of i-Movie that we hadn't used before, but once we got used to it we realised it was actually easier than the older version! it gave us more options for effects and transitions and made cuts easier and more precise.

As we only have one laptop its difficult for us all to use the software and edit the film. We decided as long as we were all present during editing, throwing in ideas then it didn't matter who was actually on the laptop.

We have used a variety of transitions such as fade in and out, to black and white aswell, we used cross blur, cross dissolve, cube, swap and doorway! We used a sound effect at the beggining of our film when the front door bangs shut. We also editied the films hue, satuartion and brightness and on some of then added an effect so that they looked as though they were filmed on cctv cameras. On a few of the clips we cropped the images as they had obstructive objects in the mes-en-scene. We also added in a title sequences at the end.
