Vindictive - Day 1 of Editing

After we successfully finished filming our film we were then required to edit the movie into a free flowing using various different editing software's including Adobe Premier elements and Cyberlink powerdirector. The first task we set out to complete was the sorting out of all of our individual film files, in which we had to seperate those in which we could use primarily in our film with the common outtake for various reasons such as laughing or bad quality ect.

We were required to sit through and watch all the clips we had taken throughout our filming to designate which could be used. We created some folders to withhold the different clips we were going through, this meant that we actually had an outtake folder and a usable folder. Afterwards we sorted our music into these two files where we further incorporated them to make it easier when integrating them into our final film. We created sub-divisions within the usable folder for the various scenes we decided would be acceptable including the intro scene, Bill's death scene, chase scene and the final fight scene.

we eventually managed to sort through these film clips we had acquired into the various sub-divisions within the usable folder. We were then set the task of actually placing the usable film clips into the editing software after selecting the slightly better qualities of some doubles we had of scenes. We chose to incorporate things in a chronological order which would make it easier when manipulating the clips to suit the pace of our film through the various different camera angles we used.

We began with the intro scene and Bill's character death in which we placed the film scenes into the relevant ordering after some deliberation on what was the best quality clips we had overall. Eventually we placed these relevant scenes in and then began placing the chase and fight scene clips into the editing software in there order as well to keep things simple for us as well. Afterwards we were rather tight on time and ended the first day after placing all the clips into the editing software, however we will be required to edit extensively due to the overall length of all the clips together.
