Editing

for the editing of the film, me and Rabbi used the mac software that we have in college. it was the first time we were using any kind of editing software, and so we weren't really sure what we were doing. It took us a while to get any clips onto the PC, we couldn't connect the camera to the PC, we kept swapping bits of technology around to see if anything made a difference, but it still didn't work. we then tried a different wire that connects the two and we eventually found one that worked. After it had connected we couldn't get all of our clips onto the PC, we got our film pitch on there and that was it. I asked around to see if people could help, but we still didn't get anywhere with it. we tried twice to get the clips on, but it always stopped after the film pitch had gone on.

Thankfully, we tried again and it finally went on the PC and we had to wait quite a while for it all to be imported onto the PC. then we could start editing. we had to ask for help again because we hadn't a clue how to edit and we didn't want to delete or lose anything by accident. we were shown how to edit and then from then on it seemed quite simple once we got the hang of it. we went through it and edited it entirely. adding in some titles along the way.

we made a back up of all the clips on Rabbi's memory stick just in case anything went wrong and we needed to get the clips back. But everything in the end went fine and we just had the music to add on. we had to have help again because we didn't know how to do this. we have a friend called Jon who we know had used the same software before and he was happy to come and help. we had a song called 'everlasting sadness' for our film that we got from freeplaymusic.com. he added the music on and then after that all we had to do was make all of the clips black and white. we thought the film would look much better if it were to be in black and white. i went through them all and changed them and watched it through and the effect really suited the narrative.

originally we were going to have a strike through design for our film title-

I'm not okay

but in the final title on the film the design looks like this-

I'm (not) okay
