Editing the Footage

All Footage gathered, everything filmed...now time to put it together.

During some class lessons we have had time to put our film together, firstly I started with putting in my production logo, then going from there. To put all of this together i used adobe premire pro, so if you want to use a piece of footage or picture etc, you have to import it.

To change the length o the clip to get it to the desired time you want you drag it to the let frame and use 'I' to cut the footage in when you want the clip to start and 'O' when you want it to end. You then have to drag image and audio down to the time line for it to come up on the right. You can also use effects on both the audio and images such as cross dissolve or gradually fade. I found this really easy to use ater a couple of times.

I used a piece of music composed by Brian Eno and Yoori Kim called 'In meinem Himmel' however the specific bit i wanted in my opening two minuets was not long enough to cover the whole of the footage, so i had to copy the audio clip a number of times and choose when to cross disolve them so it seemed like an extended piece of music. On top of music i had audio which was a poem read out by a little girl, that describes the loss of her father.
