I'm working in a group of 3 with Ben Brearley and Dom Ellis on a slasher film opening with the working title of Black Nightmare, and on this blog you'll see all the research and planning behind our production.

MICRODRAMA: EDITING

In our group of 7 we split up into 2 group2 to edit and I went in a group of 3 which had it's advantages and disadvantages, for example we had more variety of ideas when it came to editing techniques but it became awkward when it was only 1 person doing all of it on the computer whiles the others just shared there input.

We started by importing all our footage from the memory card into the computer's hardrive then into final cut pro, where it appeared in the final cut pro library, from here we could then delete all the footage that we didn't want and cut or edit the ones we did want, then added them to the time line where all the shots build up to make a final piece.

These titles at the start of the microdrama were made using the titles tool where you could choose the design for the titles to appear and what they'd say and the font, we used a red font on black to go with the slasher genre.Also using the transition tool we could use the fade from black to normal transition to go form our titles to the opening scene, this transition is used at the start of most films so we thought we'd use it here.

Also all the sound effects that we added to our edit we choose from the music and sound library where there's a wide range of sounds and music to choose from so we choose the best suited for the scenes we used them in. Also we could make our own music from a keyboard which we composed ourselves and then imported it to this library that added it to the scenes which we wanted the music in.
