Filming Over, Editing Just Beginning

Myself and Frank have now completed filming for our task and have started to edit the footage.

Filming was a bit of a trial as, after our first session, a lot of our footage corrupted. This meant we had to go and refilm everything, which in turn meant asking our actor, Nick Albiston, to kindly reshoot the shots. Luckily for us he agreed to.

Finding a time when all of us were available was a bit of a problem, and filming the second time round therefore proved more troublesome as there were no tripods available at the time we required. Conscious that we needed to begin editing soon though, we went ahead and did our best to hold shots steady, despite this obviously being a lot more difficult.

Having begun editing we feel that most of our shots are steady in the main and some shots are actually made intentionally unsteady anyway, and so these were easier to film.

I think we may require some assistance with editing in the coming days as we both have a somewhat limited knowledge of the features in Final Cut Pro. We both wish to bring our vision to fruition though and so this will require some slightly more advanced editing. The shot that I am thinking about in particular is the zooming in on Gary's (Albiston's) eye, which ends up providing a transition to the next scene.
