Post 9- Post Production

As a whole, the editing process to an estimation of 5 hours, as a group we had to discuss how to edit the video, which parts to crop out and make sure if there is any errors in the video. to do this we used a shot list, this helped us a lot as we knew how long each shot lasted and when it started and finished.

Here is the shot list of our video:





We all contrbibuted in the editing suite and discussed how the first shot will begin so we decided to quickly fade in the first shot from a black background, close up of ELLY's face, we got this idea from the actual X Factor audition. 



At the end of each shot edting scene that we had done, we had to make sure that the end of the finished editing scene and the beginning of the new editing would emerge in together so that the whole video was continous. This part was quite hard because when ELLY walks down the stairs and joins KELLY through to the corridor, the timing had to be very accurate to keep the continuity without any errors.

After we had finished doing the editing, we had to start the sound, we all listented to the video very carefully and decided when the sound should be louder or quieter by moving the little circle markers either down for decrease or up for increase, or if we thought there was unnecessary sound in the background we just lowered the sound completely. Whilst doin this process we had to make sure that when we finished each shot we had to lower the marker at the end of the shot and higher the marker in the beginning of the shot so that the sound throughout the whole video was continous.

After looking at the whole editing version of the video, i thought that it was very good as i thought it would of been much harder however during one of the scenes where ELLY and KELLY were talking to each other, the shot reverse shot was quite poor as we could not see ELLY's face when she was talking to KELLY, so we could of done more shots on that specific scene. Overall I was very pleased with the continutiy in the video as there was no errors however we did have a few problems as we didn't stick to the Shot List and just done the editing as we were going along and therefore we did have some shots missing which could if made it more better.
