Editing Process day 2

The second day of the editing process both group leaders myself and Anna Philona spent the whole morning dedicated to this task. Firstly we had to watch the one hour long footage from start to finish in order to view all the different shots we had taken. Once we had viewed this we were able to choose the shots which we felt worked best. This took much longer than expected as it was the first time we were editing using the Mac computers.

We used a software called iMovie which is only available on the Mac computers though considering we had never used this software before we managed to adjust to it well. Once the scenes were cut we put these in the order of preference from our storyboard - as it is a trailer we intertwined the storylines together jumping from each to the other in order to keep the audience anticipating.

We then added the title pages which we placed on black backgrounds with white bold font, these pop up in between the cuts as if it is telling a story and last only a few seconds on screen. The title pages go as follows:
"The story of five teenagers,"
"who live in the moment... "
"even if that means"
"Breaking the Rules"
"LIBERTY"
"COMING SOON"

we felt that these titles worked well as they emphasized what our soap is about and also attracting our young teenage adult target audience.

After a hard working day we are pleased to say that the majority of the editing is completed. Our next steps now include finalising the music which we will need to add to the trailer. As well as fixing any cut jump cuts by adding transitions.
