Editing

In our lesson on 14th December we took a trip to the City Learning Centre to make use of their iMac equipment. The purpose of the morning was to receive help in the editing of our music video from a proffesional user of the iMovie programme and to gain progress in the final stages of the editing.

We encountered many problems on the day though. We had agreed earlier on that we wanted to use the transition applied in Blink 182's music video "Always", but it was not included in the iMovie software and so this would not be achieved which we were disappointed about. Instead we will use the "wipe" transition in it's place.

Our shot transitions we were told, were too slow and we were adviced that the transitions should occur on the sharp beat. This was achieved using a technique on the keyboard that cut each clip with precise timings for the beat by adding time markers.
