Editing LogThe first decision I had to make was to choose people to be in my group and decide what roles everyone is going to have. So in my group it was me, Ragwana and Elisabeth. I was the camera person and the director. Ragwana controlled the lighting and Elisabeth controlled the sound. There werent enough MACs in our classroom so me and my group went to another classroom and used their macs. Even though we are in the same group and we did our filming together. We had to upload our footage and edit everything individually. To do all our editing and create our trailer, the main application i used was Final Cut Pro. The MAC I was using did not allow me to screenshot anything so I had to take pictures on my phone and then import it to my computer. Firstly we had to create our own folders under our names to store all our film trailer work.

Secondly, I uploaded my footages from the camera by connecting the camera to the MAC with a wire. As you can see I created folders/bins so my work was organised. I renamed all the bins to tell me which scene it was for, for example the kidnap scene. I put all the footages from the kidnapping scene into the kidnapping folder. Doing this made it easier for me to find what kind of footage I want.

I then put the clips together. I put all the clips in the order I wanted them to be in. I cropped and cut clips. Sometimes the footage was good however there were a few bits that werent as great so I cut them out by using tools in Final Cut Pro. I faded in and out by using a tool. I also marked in and marked out. Final Cut Pro was quite easy to use because everything you needed was in the tool box.

I used this tocut and crop my Footages.

This tool shows how loud or quiet the sound is

I then imported this intuitional logo into my trailer. I put the logo right at the beginning of the trailer because on some trailers I saw, the logo was at the beginning. By adding this logo, my trailer looks more professional and real, because all trailers have a logo

I used an application called Motion. On this application I created my intertitles, my title, my release date and my social media links. It took me quite some time because my intertitle was a paragraph which I had to break down. I also needed to use different fonts and colours, I tested out many fonts and colours and decided which ones I liked best.

To finish off my trailer I added sounds. I used this music application called garage band. I used iTunes to convert the sound into a file. Then I imported it into the timeline of my trailer.It took me quite some time to get use to using Final Cut Pro, Motion and Garage Band. But I managed and ended up creating my trailer.
