Editing our swede - AS homework

To start off with we just watched all of the clips that we had recorded and decided which ones we wanted to use for our swede and which ones weren't relevant or had gone wrong. After deciding which clips we wanted to use, we cut out the unnecessary bits in each one, i.e. taking out any parts of the clip that had unwanted background noise, and we then moved on to adding our title screen. After that, we had to arrange the clips in order so the story made sense as according to the actual Star Wars movies. Then we played with the clips a bit and go used to the tools available on the programme we were using. We added transactions in-between scenes and we reduced the motion speed in some of the fighting scenes to make them more appealing. However, we had faced a few problems in the editing of our swede. One of these is that we didn't film as much as we would've liked. This may have been down to the short time we were given. But this restricted us to a limited number of clips, and when we knew we had messed up on one of the scenes we didn't have enough time to re-do it because we had a time limit, so we had to move on to the next clip. When we were editing and realised we didn't get enough clips, we used clips that we thought we wouldn't of needed before, and this actually worked to our advantage as we were able to get certain scenes from different camera angles. Another problem we encountered during the editing of our swede is that it took us a while to figure out how to use the programme properly, as it was one we weren't used to. This wasted time we had to edit the swede and therefore it took longer to edit. We had to overcome this problem by staying behind after school to make up for the time lost.
