Editing

We used a Recording Lgo and and edit decision list before editing. We wrote down the time on the camera for every shot we done. Once we done that we decided what shots we were going to actually use, for this we used an edit decision list. We then logged and captured to put the shots on the computer that we needed. When we started to edit to put the shots all in order before we started to add effects. The girls shots where already on the computer so we have already cut them down to what we needed. Before we got the boys and the meeting filmed we started to do the credits, we started with a black backgrouynd and pink writing, however at the end we didnt think that it looked right, it looked more like a thriller or horror with the black background for every credit. We used this style of credit for two of the shots. Then we put the credit on the picture/shot of film as this looked more professional and more like a romantic comedy. We had alot of dissolves in our film as this made it more look professional and had more movement. We had to show that the time had passed while they were waiting for each other. We done two shots of the girls watch. We took a shot at 3 pm then another shot at 3.30 pm. We added an additive dissolve between the two of these shots to show that time had passed. We also added another dissolve whent he boy is brushing his teeth then to the girl brushing her teeth, this is called a bridge. We added a song at th beggining which is a very cheerful, happy song to show that they are exctied about meeting each other, and also if you listen to the words it goes nicely together as it is saying, "someone to call my lover". We had a slow passed song for the meeting bit as this shows that it is a slow proceed as they finally meet. The song is called "Is it you?". This goes really well as they do not know what each other look like. At the end of the opening they look at each other when she phones him and the lyrics say "Is it you?".
