Post 9: Post-Production

As a group we had to decide the best way to get our editing done to the best standard but also the quickest so we wouldn’t be behind. We all checked to see when we had free lessons and what lunch breaks we were able to edit. Although we could not all be there at the same time we each put in as much effort as we could, dividing our time into when it would be best for each of us to go.

Although I had done media studies at GCSE I had never done this type of course and I had never edited before so it was a new experience for me. Luckily we had a group member who had experience and knew what to do. This group member taught me the basics but because I had never done it before I wanted to learn how to do it and put in a lot of effort helping to edit.

I learnt new editing techniques which helped once we had realised that we had messed up in the shoot which meant I was able to help and fix the problem.  We were able to change the audio levels where needed so if there was background music that was not needed we could fade the audio in so we wouldn’t have to re-shoot the shot.

Also at the beginning of the film we created an opening title screen with ‘the break-up’ wrote on in bold, which is the film’s title, and at the end we created a credits screen with names of the group and how they contributed to the task such as director and editors.
