Editing The Rest

Editing the sequence was ok, but not all of the things I had planned could be applied in post-production. To edit the opening sequence, I used iMovie on an iMac which I felt enabled me to be more creative than other programmes such as Windows Movie Maker. The iMac could offer a degree of professionalism and as it offered better editing techniques and titles. However, there were certain transitions that I had planned to use, such as a 'shatter' transition, that the iMac could not offer me. As a result, I used simple cuts and methodically placed titles this was the most effective and professional alternative. I occasionally strayed from the storyboard, for example, the shot types and distances used, as the footage was sometimes better in these other shots. When editing, I noticed how bad the sound of the footage was as the camera had picked up the sound of the wind which was not a factor that I had considered as the when filming we could not hear the wind. To rectify this aspect, I edited the sound using 'Garage Band' on the iMac to try and minimize the sound of the wind but it can still be heard.
