Editing so far... (25th March 2010)

Last lesson we went for our final film shoot and shot a variety of scenes, one which involved the main character (Jack) sitting in a cafe (we went to a cafe in Hulme indoor market), opening and reading a letter sent by his ex girlfriend in which she retured a bracelet which he had once given her and the other scene where the main character attempts to ring his ex girlfriend but is unsucessful in contacting her. Also we filimed another flash back scene which involved the main character burning the letter, this was shot at night which we thought made the clip more effective as it made him seen more vunerable and sinister.

In todays lesson we had a few difficulties locating our saved project file as is was not saved in the place we thought we had originally saved it, thankfully after about 10 moniutes of serching for the file we found it, we have now realised that when editing we need to take extra care when saving our project and so to make sure this doesnt happen again we renamed our project so it is easier to locate we have called it 'March 25th filming' so the next time we edit our film we will be able to find the saved project with no hassle.

Then we logged and captured the footage we had filimed the lesson before and carried on editing the clips together and adding effects and transitions. We also learnt a new technique when usings the mac's to log and capture new footage. What we learnt was that we do not need to use the digital camecorder to rewind the footage when capturing as we can use the keyboard to rewind, fast forward, pause and play.

We desided that the flashback of the graveyard did not fit right in the place we had it originally and thought it would make the project flow better if we put it at the beginning of the film.
