Editing

Editing Process In 10 Steps

1) We started by importing all of our footage into iMovie.
2) We ordered the raw footage into chronological order according to our storyboard.
3) We began editing the footage into order. We cropped and cut each clip to make sure that the continuity was correct, and was pleasing to watch and added a blue/green tinge colour over-lay.
4) We removed all sound from every clip as we wanted to record our own foley sounds and dialogue to get the best quality possible in our finished piece.
4) Once the footage was roughly edited together we began adding titles, including our production name and logo.
5) We began refining the footage, and cropping down clips in order to improve the fast pace of the piece.
6) We imported the foley sounds that we had recorded (See 'Foley Sound' post) and layered them over the top of our footage.
7) We then began recording our music using Garage Band (See 'Recording Our Music' post).
8) Once the soundtrack was done we recorded the separate dialogue with our actress, Lily, and layered that in sync with the footage.
9) We showed our rough cut to a group of our peers for feedback, and uploaded it to various social media sites. (See 'What Have We Learned About Technology?' post)
10) Finally we took into consideration the feedback we had from our first cut and made final improvements which included, more titling, refining clips, and adjusting sound levels.
