Editing Process

The editing process was by far the most difficult under various reasons, but also eased for other reasons. As we had taken so many clips, searching through them became a tedious task. This was easier than most peoples jobs since we used the HDV's. This meant our clips were pre-saved in small files, saving us the job of individually capturing each clip. Although the HDV cameras made editing easier that way, the increased quality also made rendering a horrifically long process.
To begin the arduous project, we decided to edit the pre-song script running from the living room scene, up to preparing their equipment. This was done first since it allowed us to get acquainted with the software again, and did not have to worry about lip syncing. After this we began tackling the actual video, and started with the most fun element, the bedroom trashing scene. This acted as our editing transition of rough editing, yet still in time with the music element but again, no lip syncing. When we came to lip syncing we found we did not actually have the 2nd verse lip synced in film, and so had to fill the time with shots of the paramedics running towards the victim. In the end this worked well and was perhaps an improvement. Because the editing task took so long, we began to see the ratio of lesson time to work required was not sufficient, therefore we decided to stay after college on numerous occasions to ensure we met the deadline. Thankfully these paid off and we met the deadline comfortably.
