Editing...

Lee has done most of the editing as he knows what he is doing whilst i have been watching and developing his ideas as well as giving my own opinions on what should be changed or what could have been in place of some of the other things. I have learnt a lot about Final Cut just by wtaching Lee and feel that next lesson i should be able to help him edit, so that he could give his opinions and his suggestions instead for a change.

As Lauren and Sarajane re-filmed our singer (Lewis), Lee has managed to incorporate some of his original footage of his singer into our video. Even though he has the words in his hand, i think the way the footage has been editied and where it is also not a too long clip works really well with our video. Even though Aaron (Lee's singer) hasn't been used greatly i feel that by having both Lewis and Aaron in the video it creates differentiation as it is an outtake of Aaron checking out a girl walking past where as Lewis is singing and not taking any notice of what could be going on around him, as this is not seen on the video.

Lee has also included a lot of split screening which he has now taught me how to do. It is of charlotte and steven, but one from the view point of charllotte which has been mixed and the other from the view point oof steven which has been mixed. This has been done in two different parts of the screen.

As i have not really done any of the editing my ideas have been quite useful as it means that whilst helping Lee with editing, i am also learning how to edit as well by watching him. My ideas have been to crop things a bit more and then to contrast with a different shot and with something on a diagonal angle. This could also give the meaning of the song in some parts, or at leas tthe way in which we interpreted it.
