How our chick flick is coming along...

We have now edited all the clips we have so far and put them to the music (Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects). Editing our filming was more enjoyable than monotonous which was good! We managed to edit very quickly which, I think, was due to the fact we filmed everything in one go and did not have different clips scattered around everywhere which would have made it much more time-consuming. The only slightly harder part was choosing which shots out of the ones we had recorded were our favourties, and which to include. We have to bare in mind that the continuity had to be perfect in order for our film to look believable. Once we chose which clips we were using we added our music and edited it so, mostly, the shots change on particular beats of the music. Last week Axel came in to have a look at what we have achieved so far and luckily he seemed to think that we were doing well so far which was great to hear! We are all very proud of our coursework so far and hope the finished piece is as good as we hope it can be!

Unfortunately, on the day of filiming there was a part we did not have time to film and due to circumstances such as weather, and availability of our actresses we have only just filmed it. However, it is a relief to think that now our filming is all done! We will now edit our final shots and put them into the film.

We have started to use LiveType to produce our credits and it is proving quite a challenge as we are not used to the programme yet! However, after watching some very useful tutorials we are now getting quite good and have manged to produce the opening credits which say 'Starship Prictures presents...'. Whether we will still be pleased with it next lesson is yet to be seen, but for now, we are moving onto making the 'A film by... Cosmic Productions'.

We have thoroughly enjoyed editing our film and hope it will be finished soon as we move onto our evaluation.
