Editing day three (4/03/2013)

Today was the third day of editing. Today we had to decide weather we was going to use a black and white effect or a different filter which was faded; we chose to make it black and white however have a small amount of colour in it. I had decided to focus mainly on the video filters as I thought it would be good to make it look as professional as possible.

I had remembered that in a few films a good effect was how two video's faded on top of one another and I thought we could also use this. I thought about the feedback and what Dan had told us; he said Mercy should be on screen more sleeping and so I thought instead of cutting a lot of clips off I could just insert a fade of her sleeping while her dream is also on show.

This effect was very difficult for myself to do; with the help of a teacher I managed to get an idea of what I wanted; he showed me how the process worked and taught me how I needed to do this. It took a very long time to get what I wanted as in one of the scenes an adidas bag was in the background and we need to find a way to get rid of it; the font of the logo and name was gold therefore it stood out. After trying many ways to get rid of the adidas logo we decided to crop the clip as it would have been very time consuming and a waste of time to focus on one bag.

Overall today was one of the hardest days editing as not much was done because I had to find which effect I wanted which looked good and try and find a way to get rid of the adidas bag in the background.
