Editing Our Final Footage

When it came to editing our final film, we found it quite a lengthy process. It took a long time to perfect the footage as a lot of the time the shots didn't look right when put together. After we perfected this, it was simply a case of making sure that the music fitted in the with the finished film. This was an issue, but once finished, we found that the film was working well.
The first section was easy to edit; the only issue we had was perfecting the shots so that they flowed, as as she was walking, it was important to make it look like she was walking to and from the right place. Regarding the second half, we had to make sure that there was no evidence that the film lacked continuity, and had to ensure that the same thing applied there. We had a very minor issue in that the credits took a long time to perfect, but other than that, we had no problems.

On the last day of our editing process, we had an enourmous catastrophe; our film had disappeared from iMovie and we couldn't find it anywhere. After searching through the Macbook multiple times, I eventually fixed it, much to our relief. I dragged the film back into the space that it had disappeared from, and it reappeared in iMovie. This taught Matt and myself the importance of backing up your work, as this could've been a big issue if we had not been able to fix our problem.
