Editing...

Once we had filmed all the shots we needed and wanted we uploaded them all on to the mac and then decided that it would be easier to put it onto jon's laptop so that we could have more time and access to do the editing. luckily Jon knew alot about the software we used as I hadn't a clue so Jon went through the basics so i could help. first of all we got rid of shots that failed or didnt work well and didn't fit in with the other clips. we then put the clips we were going to use in order so that we had a base and knew what would go where. we then started to edit the clips by cutting them and deleting parts we didn't need such as the beginnings where we said action etc. and the end where we said cut. We also played around for a bit with some of the clips to see where to cut them in places that would be most effective. once we had done that and put everything in order we found some music to go over the top as there isn't much in the way of conversation between our characters. once we had found a suiting piece of music Jon showed me some good effects that we could use, so we used slow motion and rewind in some parts to add effect. lastly we fiddled around with the lightin exposure as we thought we should make it a bit darker to give the full effect of a poker room but in the end we agreed it would look better keeping it how we had filmed it because our white balance was really good.
