Preparation for Editing

In our media lessons we were basically shown how to edit, film set up the camera on the tripod etc. We were put into groups to film our preliminary task which was just mainly learning how to film and edit. The filming and editing was spread over two lessons. The first lesson was spent filming the prelim which for 30 seconds of filming in total took longer than expected. The second lesson we had a year 13 student showing us how to use the editing software. We learnt how to do all the basic editing like cutting and transitions etc. But our thriller required more advanced software. One member of our group Peter thought it would be easier to access editing software at home because some many people will be using the editing suite at once that you won’t get a sufficient amount of time to edit. So Peter decided to obtain software that we could use out of school. Both I and Peter then installed the software on to both his home computer and my laptop and we both spent a couple of hours learning how to use the software. But this time was not efficient for the complexity of the software. Installing the software on my laptop made it easy to transport it to school and discuss the editing with the other members of our group and show them what we had achieved so far.

This is just an example of what our software can do.
