Post-production

Monday 22nd October, I captured my footage onto the Final Cut Pro after we shown how to use the new Final Cut programme so we knew the basics on how to edit with the new software. I began by cutting down my clips and slotting them into the order I would like them to be shown in and then I used to blade tool to cut   pieces where I felt the footage were not appropriate.

Due to learning about the software on the previous lesson we did not have time to edit all our VT item so I finished off from where I left from the previous lesson. I really tried tightening some clips and try get it picture perfect without any continuity errors which I can now see they may be a few errors in my editing and filming. Such as when Chad is in a different position in one shot to the other. I decided not to put any transitions into my VT item accept from the end to finish it off because I thought it felt more unrealistic so I decided to stay with just the basic footage tightened up. I then slotted in some sound effects that I thought would go with the basic theme of the story and have a overall background noise of the whole entire VT item up in till Chad the character turns into a pumpkin.

I finished my VT item about an hour or so before the deadline so I was in plenty of time to re edit and make it better if I wanted too. I feel happy with my final outcome of my VT item I felt that it gave the message what I was expecting came across correctly because I wanted a scary storyline but to have a humorous outcome in the end and I feel that I have met that target. If I knew more about the program I would of liked to have got them picture perfect and no continuity errors and if I had time to of gone and re shot the sequences again. I added a few extra shots in when I was filming because I felt they were quite relevant when I was there. Overall, I would say I am please with my final VT item and that it final outcome came out how I intended. I thought that the lighting in my project worked really well and I am really pleased with that aspect and thought the filters worked well.
