First Stage of Editing

Today myself, Sarah and Zarah (Saira couldn't make it) stayed behind after school to start the first stages of editing. We went through all of the footage that we had shot by connecting the memory card from the cameras onto the laptop and watched the footage through the software Adobe Premiere. By watching each piece of footage we were able to establish what we'd like to keep and what we'd like to get rid of.

We found that we had shot some really good footage, getting a variety of shots and were pleased with what we'd done. Also, we found that we got good close-ups of the girls showing their intense emotions to match the lyrics. As the song has parts where it is instrumental, we are going to incorporate these close-ups during these parts to show continuity throughout the video as the close-ups are of the girls in their location of where they met the boy they like.

Sarah filmed some floor shots which unfortunately didn't come out as we'd at first anticipated. This is because they showed the ceiling and surroundings of the theatre which would've ruined our video. Therefore we had to erase this footage. Our next stage of editing will be deleting other pieces of footage that we don't want (which we noted down) and then start to edit the actual footage we are going to keep. Watch this space!
