Editing the Main Exercise

When editing our main exercise we managed to overcome many problems which have come up during the creation of our main exercise. The first problem that we had was when Andy chose to leave college. With Andy being our editor, this then meant that we had put the clip together ourselves, however between us, we had managed to edit our preliminary exercise when Andy was absent, so we did have some experience in the editing department. We used Windows Movie Maker when creating our preliminary exercise, however we also needed to use Adobe Pro which created further problems, as this software was new to the entire group.
This is a screen shot taken from Windows Movie Maker where we were cutting the scenes to the right size, and adding transition effects.

This a screen shot taken from Adobe Premier Pro when we were using it to complete our final production, by adding the title of our film, to the clip.

Another problem that we had, came when uploading our footage to Windows Movie Maker, on a few occasions, it was only loading the data, but not the video footage itself. This was only a minor problem, because we found that as long as we stuck to using lap tops, we were generally okay with loading our footage.
Our major problem to overcome was adding the music to our clip. We found music from a CD in our college library which fitted in with the genre of our film perfectly, however we were then told, that we would have to copyright our music, which could cost us. We were aware that we had to gather certain information about our choice of music, however Andy who has left college, still has the CD out in his name. This means that our group has to make a decision, whether or not to abandon the music all together, or find a way to get hold of the information that is needed to complete the copyright process.
