The Editing Process



Alice and I (Sarah) have learnt how to change the volume of the audio in Final Cut Pro as some of the dialogue was too quiet and we wanted the music to fade down so you could hear them. But we have now made the necessary improvements. The quick-paced frames which come in after all the characters are introduced are going really well and they work effectively with the music.


Alice has created the title screen 'Insiders' with the basic information using Photoshop.


In our group outside scene, originally we intended to freeze frame the different characters so we could overlay text with their name and a comment from their character. We decided to change this and Jess spent a lot of time using Photoshop to edit the freezeframes to give them another colour and use our house style font 'Cracked' for the text. We imported the pictures back into Final Cut and it now looks better. It was also suggested that instead of a comment from them we wrote their sentence length and so we made this improvement too. Alice and I looked at a lot of music on Soundtrack Pro, trying to find some good backing music for the first half of our trailer, but we have decided to not use any at this point in time and to use diegetic sound from the video footage instead.
