Mendacity Final Piece (AS Media Opening)

Diary of editing

March 27th

After speaking out side media lessons we had decided to use, the two tracks used are called Abandoned and On The Trigger. Kieran had put them over our footage and edited the switch between the two tracks to fit the change in scene. Kieran will then upload the final piece into his youtube account, which i will then later upload onto my blog.

Opening Credits second




After the previous post this is what kieran came up with at home, however he wasn't very happy with it and we as a group decided that we should use the first one with some minor changes.

In our lesson we had all decided that we need to cut one of the smaller time consuming parts out. After discussing for a few minutes in the group we had decided to cut out the toast scene. We would not miss anything very important out. The only thing we had to do instead of having the toast part in, was that me made a sound bridge of the kettle boiling from one scene to the next to have the same content as before.

We also said we would look on websites like freeplaymusic or non copyrighted music for our opening and talk out side of lessons yo what we think is the best and best fitted for our media work.

Again in todays lesson we sat down at the laptop and still saw we had a fair bit down to get to the two minute mark. We kept cutting the odd second down when ever we could by either adding an effect or different ways of editing and using different cuts to shorten segments. We also said that we would have to start thinking out cutting a few small scenes out for the film to me on or around 2 minutes.

In todays lesson we had looked over all the footage we had together and had all seen that we need to cut it down seriously if we are to meet the two minutes that we had been given. So once again we sat down and started cutting out a few seconds when ever we could. Another thing that we had to include where the credits, which we had decided they would be a good way to switch from scene to scene saving time.

re-shot filming pictures


15th March re-shot

Today Mitch and Kieran both came back to my house after we had finished school so that we could perfect the scene and make it better once we continue the editing at school. We re-shot the opening part of Mitch making tea. We where happy with the footage we got and where confident that it was a huge improvement instead of what we had in the first place.

This also gave me a chance to take pictures of us filming which i will upload later this evening.

We had all come back over the weekend ready to get alot of editing done. With Kieran being very god at editing he had been doing more of it when he can in his free time. As a group i dont want kieran doing all the work as it is all of our responsibility.


So in today lesson i sat down with kieran and again we went over the footage out started to cut out any part we could to get it down to the 2 minutes. We also stated to add some different efftects, cuts and fades. As we got half way though the lesson we realised that we would have to re-film the opening tea making scene. This was because we couldnt merge to different parts of a clip.

Kieran again brought his laptop in for the editing. Obvious Kieran is very experienced in editing clips together. So for these first lessons kieran is more or less just teaching me the simple parts of using all the editing software, so i can then help in later lessons when needed. When i get home tonight and in the next few lessons will start looking for working title images and start to think about putting the credits and titles together.

For the past few lessons we had started rendering and uploading the footage onto Kierans memory stick for editing on kierans laptop because the school computers are very slow and it would just make it faster and more efficient to get work done. Kieran will also bring in his laptop for media lessons for us to do the editing.
