Editing

When it came to editing the footage that we had filmed from the previous day, we decided that we would take turns using the system MovieMaker5 when it came to putting together our trailer. Taking turns also meant that it would give us all a chance in learning the system and having an input in making the trailer.

Below is a screen shot of the software MovieMaker5:



The software was extremely easy to get used to and we were able to pick it up reasonably quickly. It allows you to piece together the different shots and add in different shot transitions such as fades, cuts and wipes.
Below is a screen shot taking from MovieMaker, as you can see there are different effects, transitions, text edit and colour edits.

After we had uploaded all of the footage that we had filmed the previous day, it was a pretty lengthy processing putting all of the shots together, because we had to make sure that the shots flowed well and the continuity was correct. We then had to add in effects such as fades and flashes and also edit any shots which needed more adjustment.

For example, the screenshot below is the shot of the car driving along, however there was some talking in the back ground and we felt that the sound of the car was too loud, so we had to bring down the level of noise.

For the screen shot below of Lucy in the bathroom, we felt that the lighting was too bright so we decided to lower the lighting to make the atmosphere more suitable for the trailer.
