Editing day 1

Once I had nearly all of my footage together, it was time to begin putting the footage together.

Once all of my scenes were cut and in the right order, it was time to start fiddling around with perfecting the Mirror Reflection scene I was so passionate about doing. Using the 'crop' tool, I was able to use half of a screen from two different pieces of footage to match them together.

When cutting my montage scene together, I realised that I need a few more clips for my montage to be effective. Therefore, I need an extra day for filming before all of my footage is together.

Edit Decision List

After filming the majority of my trailer and looking at my shot list, I created an edit decision list to follow my shot list.

This will help me when editing my trailer together on Final Cut Pro.
