Evidence of Editing

We did not have as much time as we expected for editing, as our filming was a little over the deadline. However, we still managed to get some significant progress during the first few days. We had a couple of issues with two shots in particular, where the cameraman's shadow was shown, and where someone's coat was very slightly in the shot temporarily. These were fixed promptly.

Using Final Cut Pro was a challenge, as nobody had really used the software outside of media lessons. However we quickly got used to it and managed to work with it effectively. The sound was done in GarageBand, which Ross especially was experienced with, and as such volunteered.


A lot of time was spent finding filters. Our protagonist, as mentioned before, is affected by schizophrenia and drug use, and so we needed to find suitable effects to show this. Adding bloom and blurs worked pretty well, and increasing the saturation complemented it nicely.


Transitions were not too difficult. One transition was a wipe that coincided with another character walking past the camera, and the others were either fades, dissolves, or normal cuts.
