Evelina Week 10

Week 10- Role in the group

This week we gave each other roles to have during the filming processes, so then our group can b organised. My role in the group was the editor, where I had to take the clips filmed and put them together to make the story come alive. Before I take the role of a editor I did some research to find what my job is and what I have to know. At first I though this can't be that hard, but when it came to be sitting in front of premier pro for the first time; I was lost. I did not know how to edit and spend the first 40 min finding out that things do and  where everything is. After the magical 40 min of exploring I figure everything out and started to put the film opening together. 

When I finish my first rough cut, we showed it to the class to get feed back, and every one said that it looked like a music video so I decided to change the whole thing, my teacher did not like the idea but I did not know what else to do. When I changed it everyone that saw it said it was way better then the first one and that we should us this on. After finishing editing the last cut of the film opening I realised there were quite a few differences to the original shot list as it did not link to the clip. This taught me that spending longer planning on the storyboard and shot list will help to achieve better results in a quicker time, 

The editing experience was great and stressful at the same time, but I think I have achieved good results and that the film opening looks great for someone that did not know how to edit of the start of 2015.
