Crazy times, Me and Rosie spent all day at uni today in that god awful stuffy room....But we survived with the help of chocolate fingers... I was really apprehensive today about editing as I was really worried it would put a downer on my confidence in this project as both me and Rosie had no idea how to work Final Cut Pro...We have both been to the tutorials, but putting that into practice seemed a lot easier said then done.
We went with high hopes for the day and I feel we succeeded in what we wanted to do. We had a slight problem at the beginning. We forgot to shut down FCP after setting the system preferences, after wasting an hour...We got back down to business and carried on with what we wanted to do. In the morning we managed to rename everything and get all our shots into a timeline of how we wanted them to appear. This was actually harder then I thought, although we both had a rough idea in our heads of what we wanted, when pasted together it seemed very different and we had to shuffle some shots around. We finally had the shots in the correct place and went for lunch.
After lunch we played around with different affects and trying to learn how to link all our shots together. We played around trying to create a grainy effect...We didn't manage to do this as it seemed far to static and tacky. We will definitely need help from Geraldine/ Olle on how to create this. Hopefully we can get the effect we want. We did find whilst messing around, The feather effect, which we really liked as it gave our film a sort of old effect which we think looked pretty and really beautiful... We will keep it on for the time being, we can always remove it as I have a feeling the tutors wont like it.
Our film is made up of alot of different short shots and we really need help in learning how to connect these fluidly together, as our film is mean to be slow and beautiful we don't want quick cuts and the film to look to jumpy..
Overall Im really pleased with our first edit..Its starting to take shape. Fingers crossed for tomorrow...
Im having trouble uploading onto my blog..I will try and sort this out tomorrow, so you can see the progress we made today
TTFN
