Editing Blog: The First Few Scenes

We have started the editing process. First off we dumped the footage and imported it into iMovie. First, we imported all of the scenes that we had and then carefully chose the correct ones. Things that factored into that would be. Lighting like as in does it randomly switch, and how the lighting is transitioned through the scenes when it's supposed to be constant.  Also things like where the titles will go and if they will be visible enough on the screen. We as a group decided to start editing in titles by the of our editing. Another thing would be the acting. Considering if we can cut the scene or if we need to reshoot/ choose another. These things we're thought-about on whether or not we were going to import that scene into iMovie. 

After we imported our first few scenes we started looking at uncopyrighted music. Previous to this we looked into what songs we could use, but now we're considering ones that go along with the theme of the film. Another thing we did to add was to use transitions. Considering however that the few first scenes we got to film are not in order. This didn't allow us to use the transitions we already planned. But instead, we used temporary jumpcuts to work them together. At the end of editing, we had time to plan and consider what scenes we need to film next time. As well as how they need to look to make sure it looks like the same day. For example, the furniture and the outfits to make sure the next time we go to edit it looks the same. Our first editing was successful because we set up the base on how we are going to edit our film as well as know what we need to film the next time.
