Editing - Rough Edit (First Footage)

DAY 1: To begin our editing we first uploaded all of our footage onto the macs. We had to separate the footage from one giant to clip into the clips we filmed. This gave us a good opportunity to watch all the footage and see what clips worked and what didn't on screen. We were happy with the amount of footage we filmed that was really good and worked well. We had to accept that some of our footage was not usable due to the camera shaking and different lighting problems.

DAY 2: Day 2 was where we began to put all the clips together in a rough edit. As we didn't do all the filming on the same day we were only able to do a rough edit as all the clips would be moved again and some wouldn't fit. Referring to our storyboard made it easier as we knew where we wanted the clips we filmed to fit in with the lyrics. The difficulty came when we had shots that we filmed on the spur of the moment as we thought they would work.

DAY 3: By day 3 we had a lot of our footage into a rough position and new how much more we needed in terms of time to make sure we had enough footage for the whole song when we filmed the rest. We also started to perfect the editing on the shots we knew were going to be in the final film.

DAY 4: On day 4 we finished all of our rough editing of our first footage. We also muted all the sounds of our clips so that you could only hear the song. We managed to edit our ending by reversing the clip and slowing it down slightly to give the right effect. The shot of the writing appearing in the sand ends when the music ends. We then added another clip after the music finished of the girl walking off the beach, on this clip we kept the sound of the beach on it and made a sound bridge adjusting the levels so that the change in sound wasn't able clear so that it fitted well.
