Editing

           Overall, the editing process was relatively smooth and took a lot less time than first expected, this was helped along by the fact we had previously decided on straight/ continuity editing. We managed to create a final product which we were all happy with and which we felt portrayed the correct themes and really created a sense of atmosphere. It was refreshing finally putting all of the shots together in some sort of order even though we did differ from the storyboard quite drastically.  

           The most helpful tool when editing the music video as opposed to editing other forms of video was the marker tool, we were able to highlight hit points of the song and make sure cuts were put in the correct places. One of the most frequently used tools in final cut was the colour mixer enabling us to change shots into black and white (in our piece showing shots in the past). there were issues with the format of some shots when trying to import them into final cut and we did have to convert the ones we wanted to use. These difficulties were continued when trying to export the whole film and we ended up realising that it wasn't the correct format to be uploaded to youtube. 

          However, after a few minor issues we were able to piece together our footage nicely to make a consistent video.
