Editing process

When we were done with filming all the scenes we needed to it was time to edit. When we were thinking about editing it was all a lot to take in because it was quite over whelming. As we first sat down to begin editing it was quite hard for a few people as they just wanted to get straight into it as they had all these big ideas they wanted to translate onto the computer as soon as possible. Getting each others thoughts across to one an other was difficult because there would be one person controlling the mouse and having ideas thrown at you from every direction can be a lot. As our piece slowly and slowly progressed it started looking better each time, and because of how we finally understood how to communicate with each other it made the process a lot easier. Because we were able to communicate, our project was benefited as there weren’t any arguments. Mat and Guy were able to guide us in the right direction with our piece but was good in the way that they didn’t tell us what to do for every single step. Even though the editing process was very stressful it was also good because it not only built the relationship with our teachers and the people in our groups but also the fact that it helped us understand more about what goes into the editing process when people make films and how much time and effort is put into it. When we first started using final cut pro, it was hard for a few people to get the hang of it because they may not have used the programme before, this goes for me, once I had seen how to use it and techniques within it not only me but everyone else got the hang of it. Overall, the process was tiring and stressful but was still at the same time very fun. I liked understanding that area of media and how to create what we all created. I would definitely not change a thing with our media because it showed our hard work and was a great experience.
