First Edititng Session

When editing the key is to have all your peices of filming ready in the library however this was not possible for me as i had to film over a long time period due to the use of school cameras therefore i had to edit peices at i time. However this was fine as when first filming i had captured the first page of my storyboard so it was fine as i did not have to arrange shots into chronological order.

Firstly i created all the titles which would be appearing so that they were done and ready to be placed into the trailer alongside the pieces of film. These were very easy to create it only involved the small matter of clicking on the "title" tab in the corel video studio and then typing what i wanted to feature for example "One Man" or "Coming Soon" therefore this only took a short period of time to collate.

The second stage of editing was the cutting of the film segments. This however was a bit trickier as you had to make sure that the time scale of each shot was not too long winded so that it was boring to watch and that i wasnt too short as to not contain enough information. The other issue was that with my trailer i would be coming back and forth between shots and therefore would have to make sure that when returning to a shot i had not joined it at a different point and therefore leaving the audience with lots of different images in the heads. To do this i would have to record the timing which i had cut an image and then when i come round to entering that peice of film again all i would have to do is cut the peice out that i already have and then run the rest of that clip. This may sound confusing however i made sure that i made it as easy as possible for myself before going into creating the film.

When i went to save my first peice of editing i came across some issues in saving the first issue was not serious, i realised that the process can be very long as i was saving a large file and the right idea would be to save it in parts so that when i came to making the final save i would be able to get it saved in a shorter period of time rather than waiting long periods. The main issue however was that when i came round to re-opening the file the following lesson i had found out that i had saved it in the incorrect format and that the film clips were no longer viewable as they have been saved incorrectly and therefore i would have to re-edit each clip. This was a large setback however at this stage i had only edit three shots and there was not too much work involved in adjusting it.
