Editing

So the editing stage is finally done and my teaser trailer is complete. I managed to do everything that I wanted to during in editing "Home", the process went really well. I started by importing my footage to iMovie after filming, and first I watched all the shots that I had taken and then I began to rough cut them in the the shots that I wanted. I rough cut them with a few extra seconds either side just incase I needed to change anything or needed more of the shot. And then I put them all in order and watched the trailer back. Then came the stage of cutting down each shot to the exact second that I needed. This took quite a while because I thought that each shot was going to be about 4 seconds, and then I realised that that was too long, so I cut them down to 1, 2 and some 3 seconds. I felt that this fit in better with the pace of my trailer. Then I added the transitions. I used overlaps, fade ins and fade outs to help the trailer flow smoothly. Then I created the music at home and imported it to iTunes and then iMovie and slotted it in the right place for my trailer, I had to make sure that it came in at just the right second so it sound effective and highlighted the emotion. Then finally I created the production company logo and the titles and inserted them in. And my work here is done!
