The Editing Process

Once we have successfully recorded our film we are now ready to edit it to make it look and sounds like a proper professional film using Final Cut Pro, software that is widely used to edit television shows and programmes we watch today.

Final Cut Pro is a very comlex piece of software that allows you to do many things and is very confusing getting to know some of the functions of it. For some of the editing process Gina took over because she managed to get the hang of some of the vital functions we needed to use to edit our film, however when she was away both me and karl took over and shared the editing and even recored an introduction to the film to make it longer as we found that it wasn't long enough. to meet the 1 min 1/2 minimum time length. The introduction when edited in with a new soundtrack that we also added in almost made the film twice as long.

At various point in editing the video and audio would occasionally go out of sync for no apparent reason, whether it was us or the software we still don't know, but we managed to change it and knew how to get it back in sync.
