Today’s editing session was just to help us learn the basics
of editing and to get all of our shots imported and ready to use and edit.
Firstly we had to set up our new project under the right settings (making it DV
Pal, and to put it in Widescreen 16.9) and then to set up our folder where we
would store our clips on the hard drive, and put our saved project. We also
used the remaining time of today to import our clips into the project and to
get them trimmed (by using the mark in and mark out points) and to drag them
onto the timeline, as you can see in the picture below.

Today we put our new footage that we just filmed into the
project and get them trimmed and put onto the timeline. We also used the ripple
delete function to get rid of some shots that didn't flow with the inclusion of
these new shots. We also decided to put our dissolves into our montage sequence
today, we did this by finding the right dissolve we wanted (film dissolve)
under the effects tab and then dragging the effect onto the clips we wanted to
put it on.

Today’s session was focused mainly on getting the music we
wanted onto the timeline, we had to hunt around a few non-copyright free sites
in order to collect some potential tracks that we could use. In the end we
narrowed it down to using one track on repeat throughout the opening called
‘Sweep Bass’ up until the reveal and title where we use a more sinister song
called ‘Dark Water Beast’ we put both of these onto our timeline after trimming
them and finding the right sections we wanted. We then played around with the
volume level leading up to the transition between the songs to ensure that it
was clean and didn't jump. As you can see in the picture below we have now got our music onto the timeline.

Today we played around with the colour adjusting to make it
seem like the shots we took today looked darker to symbolise it was early
morning. We done this by looking around a few of the colour effects like
saturation and tint to ensure we get the right colour across. This took us all
of today’s session to do as it was a very lengthy process. By the end of it
though we have achieved getting the colour right and gave it a blue effect. As you can see in the picture below where they shot has a more blue effect than the others.
25th March
Today’s editing session we was just focusing on doing our
credits and managed to get them all put on. We used the titler tool to set the
writing, font and font size we wanted to use. We kept all these consistent
throughout our credits. After we had all of them ready to put on we made sure
they were all the same length and dragged them on top of the clips where they
would be. We then added dissolves to the beginning and endings of our credits
to ensure that they don’t just appear from nowhere. After we done this we then
watched it through and made sure it was all finished and what we wanted it to be like.
