A2 Preliminary Evaluation: Post-Production

The program we used to edit our preliminary video was Final Cut Pro.
I felt that this program was easy to use as I had used iMovie before and it is very similar.

We found that we did not use the storyboard very effectively whilst shooting, as we were missing a lot of shots that were on the storyboard. This became a problem, as we had to use some of the same shots twice and we were missing a lot of the lip-syncing as well.

'Orange' looking shot

I think that another type of shot that we could have done with more takes of are the lip-syncing shots. This is because we were struggling to sync Meg's singing accurately to the singing on the song. We could have solved this problem by asking Meg to emphasise the words when she's lip-syncing, as sometimes you can't clearly see that Meg's singing the lyrics.

A problem I tried to correct using this editing software was the colouring of the clips. I thought that some shots looked very over saturated compared to other shots. This was because we used different lighting and positioning whilst shooting the video.

I think that when I'm editing my future video, I will ensure that I have all the correct shots from the storyboard to cut the editing time massively. Also, I will watch the clips back during the shooting to assess the lighting to check that it's going to look consistent on the final product.
