Editing Process and Final Edit For Experimental Film

     We edited our experimental film using Final Cut Pro on the Macs provided for myself and Andrew by Sheffield Hallam University. After putting our footage on Final Cut Pro and organising its content, we began with our editing process.

     We decided on using photographs we have taken with the moving footage we had shot as we felt this would highlight the darker and creepier buildings within Sheffield. with our soundtrack in the background we knew that's what the mood would become.

     We made a clear contrast between both parts of Sheffield by editing the clips together so that it jumps from one building to another. We thought it would be a interesting touch to the film if we added the sound of the shutter on the camera every time a photograph was to appear. We kept the first 30 seconds of our original experimental film as we felt it was a good intro into it and from when we viewed our original film to other students they had positive feedback for them 30 seconds. with our photos we cut them together to create a sense of movement as if with every photograph we were getting closer and closer to a object. To create this we put the length of every photograph to 0.15 seconds. We were very pleased with our final edit out come.
