The Editing Process...

Today, Tosin and Priscilla finally began editing our opening sequence.The first few stages of editing were quite difficult for the group as we were struggling to even connect the camera to the computer (via the firewire cable)
We soon realised the shots of Priscilla playing the piano didn't quite fit the sound we had so we spent some time trying to fiddle with it to make it look and sound realistic.

Whist Stella and Lorna have been tediously searching the Internet for copyright-free music files that will suit the fight scene that features Coco (Tosin) and Tuesday (Amina)

Finding music for the fight scene has proved to be difficult as we needed to find an audio file that can easily be linked to the "tempo" and the overall style of the fight.

E.g. heavy metal music would not be appropriate for the fight as it is not so much of a serious brawl.

Today, we continued our editing until we came across a problem with playing back our work. A dialog box appeared on the screen explaining that the computer does not have enough space to render the project. We are not entirely sure about what this warning means, but we are tying to find a solution for this problem.

To add onto our problems, we also found a continuity error in our film. In one of our scenes Nicolla appears with a bag and many seconds later, the bag "mysteriously" disappears. We were disappointed when we realized that we had re-created a classical continuity error as we knew that there would not have been enough time to re-shoot the scene.

We will also have to cut large parts of the film out as we have recently discovered that the total time for our footage is at least 5:00 minutes long, and getting rid of a significant amount good footage will be very upsetting for the group as a whole.
