Editing sessions

22nd April-

Myself and Samantha went after school to start editing our Thriller. We began to crop it but it wasnt going very well.; everytime we would cut a certain clip; the section we intended to keep was something totally different from what we had expected. It then started making copies of this unwanted footage. We asked our teacher for his advice and he thought it may be because we imported large amounts of the footage which was confusing the system and therefore muddling up our clips. He then suggested we start again but this time spliting a whole clip at playhead and cutting the parts we didnt need. However it began to do the same thing with making unwanted clips and therefore we decided to give up for that day and re-start it in our media lesson.

23rd April-

Myself, Samantha and Neelam continued editing and at first it was working fine and manage to edit some footage however after a while we encountered the same problems. We spent most of the double period lesson attempting to solve the problems and cropping as much as we could. We didnt manage to crop them all nor put them in order yet.

25th April-

Neelam didn't attend our media lesson today so myself and Samantha continued to edit ourselves. We cropped the rest of our clips by splitting them at playhead and it finally worked and we wasn't delayed by any problems. Once we completed the cutting what we didnt want, we began arranging the clips in order of what the audience will see but we didt manage to finish this.

Weekend-

Over the weekend myself and Samantha decided to talk about what genre of music we should use for our thriller but due to our busy schedules only had time to discuss this over the phone. Samantha did the research whilst i listened and we gave our verdict on the music she found. We found 3 non-copyright sounds that we may use which we agreed would suit our piece very well. When we have finished the editing which should hopefully be finished by Wednesday at the most we will then fit each of our tested music to our finished thriller and see which one suits the best. Hopefully we shouldnt encounter any more technical problems!!!
