Beginning of editing




 Hello and welcome back! We've done our planning. We've done our filming. Now it's time to edit. Since my group and I did all of our filming on our phones, this made the editing process a lot easier. There was footage on all our phones so we shared all of them to each other via AirDrop and IMessage. The first editing software that we used was IMovie. The first thing we did was go through our clips and selected which take we wanted for each scene. Then I opened the IMovie app and selected each of those and put them in chronological order. We took some time watch some clips together to see how it ran together. Then we cut and clean up parts to not make it so choppy. We got rid of parts that we didn't need or parts we stuttered in while acting. As we went along editing our clips we had to keep the run time in mind. Our finished short should be around 5-6 minutes. So we had to make sure it fit that. Turns out we ran a little over what we thought it was going to be. So we all got together to discuss this. Picked which parts could be shortened or taken out to get it to be the right time. Then we picked where our special effect sounds and music should go. We used the song Rob Zombie in the beginning of our film where the titles would begin. We felt like this alongside some non copyrighted horror background music really added to the creepy effect we were looking for. We've come a long way in piecing together our film, but it is not done yet. There's more to be done. We still need to add in all of our titles. However we are going to need to use a different software than IMovie. The reason for this being that this software doesn't have the font we would like. So our next step is to talk as a group to figure out what software to use to get our perfect fonts!
