Editing from beginning to end/Audience feedback from final cut

Editing - Part 1 

• Last year we used the IMac's to edit our thriller project, so this year we used the IMac's IMovie programme to edit our work this year

• We uploaded our recordings on to the system, we then started to fiddle with the shots, to see what looks good

• The song was taken from my phone and uploaded onto IMovies so it could act as a guide

• After we noticed that the song we chose was too long (06.04) therefore we had to find a way to add clips that would get to a point where the song could fade out smoothly because we had a time limit of about three to four minutes max

Editing Part 2
We've nearly finished editing our film, we just need to add more clips to make the video drag on a little bit longer. Then we will create our digipak and then do our evaluation questions.

Editing - Part 3

Problems: 

We've come to school for a media studies lesson to finally add the finishing touches to our video but found that our work was missing from the computer....

But! after me and Richard kind of panicked, Deon said we're just going to have to deal with it and re-edit all over again :(. Sooo me and Richard had to re-edit all over again which took us 3 hours!!! but this is only because we used the rough copy that was on Richards USB as a guide line

However the video is still giving us trouble as it is shaking when shown on big screen but when shown on the editing screen it is fine.

Audience Feedback from final cut

This is the sort of messed up 'final cut' (shaky version) which Deon uploaded to Youtube

Hopefully we can get the video to work properly and upload the proper version instead, because at the moment the video is not doing us justice

However, aside form that, Richard filmed the non shaky video onto his phone and showed it to a few of our peers and teachers in order to get feedback...

Here's a few of the comments we got from our teachers and students for our final project

Feedback from Mrs Gunter 

lip synching

. She believed that the snapshots of Camden were excellent 

. Lip syncing of a high quality 

. Liked the head/face shots flashing up 

. Liked the story told - dealing with religion and drugs 

lip synching

Advice

However Mrs Gunter felt that the head shots should of been faster to give a better effect but overall it was fine

Feedback from Mrs Folan 

"I think you have used the urban mise-en-scene really well, it goes with the theme your trying to give out. All in all this video is really good" 

She then went on to say "Richard you look like a real popstar in this" 

Advice

Mrs Folan then got us to think about doing a split screen, she believes it would show the examiners that we had some technical skill

Feedback from Marios D (Media student)

Marios believed we captured aspects of an urban area, he liked the way we got shots of Camden Lock to show some diversity. 

Constructive criticisms 

Marios believed we should add transitions so our music video runs smoothly, he believed our video was lagging time to time.
