Behind the scenes- editing

I feel that the editing processes has been very success and I feel that I have learnt a lot about the software4 program i movie this was a program which I hadn't very used before started a level media. The editing process has taken us a long time and I have found it very tedious as there is a lot of back and forth between ideas and trying to fit in everyone ideas and thoughts; also learning the editing process while editing our film made the process order however once we knew the basics we found it a lot easier as we knew what we needed to do and how to do it.

  We found a few issues with our footage which meant that we had delays to editing as we had to re film a couple of the first scenes as the focus was not right and there was also a few problems with the script which we needed to change however once we had re filmed the scenes we needed to we was able to get started with our editing. We started off putting the different scenes in order in which we wanted them to go with in our opening after we had completed this we cut and cropped the scenes so it flowed better and we also added transitions in between the flashbacks and current day scenes so there was a difference between the different scenes and gives the effect of the young person viewing the flashbacks in her brain. After we had added in transitions and had all of the scenes in order we had to make sure that the different scenes didn't jump and ran smoothly through the different scenes we did this by added different effects and cutting the different scenes to make them flow. We also added some different effects to our film to make the flashbacks look more obvious which added to the film as it shows the storyline in a more clear and obvious way. 

    Adding the sound into the opening was something which we struggled with as we were not sure what type of music would make the opening flow more; so we spent some time listening to different music and finding the different sound which could use to make the scenes flow through we decided on some copyright music from YouTube called; (……………..) we used this music the whole way through the opening to allow continuation. We then found that there was a sound glitch which was very noticeable so we added in the sound of a bird we also felt that this added to the atmosphere. The last piece of sound which we added in was wind we felt this added to the atmosphere and also it helps to add more dynamic to the film as there is more audio for the audience to pick up on during the scenes without diegetic sound in.
