editing and music!!! And a big thank-you!!!

Once we uploaded all our footage, we finally got round to doing some editing. Even though we also knew we had to make our own music on garage band, we decided we would also do each stage together as that way we all get to input our own ideas and its not just one person doing it all and not just all one person's idea. Editing the shots together was the easy part and didn't take up that much time. We then adjusted the colour in each shot and added ghosting.

After editing, we watched it all through and realised it didn't really flow at he end so we then shoot a quick shot of Roisin and her book so the transitions between the shots didn't look jumpy.

Then we finally got round to the difficult part...the music. We needed to use garage band band to create our own music but because none of us have ever used it before, it took us a while to get the hang of it. The first and second time we used it, we didn't really find anything. I think this is because it was new to all us and after a while we just got sick of listening to all the sounds so we weren't really paying much attention. Also, it was very hard to find a piece of music that suited the actions and the genre and, because we all knew what kind of music we wanted, but we couldn't really explain it until we heard it. However, on our third of fourth time of using it, we found some music that we all liked the rhythm of it and went well with the actions. We found this bass just by chance. After filtering around with it more, we added some extra rhythms on top to give more of an affect on our final piece.

Finally!!! Even now all that seems easy but trust me its easier said than done. It was a lot of hard work and during the process there were a lot of ups and downs but we managed to get there in the end and become a stronger group. I think i can say on behalf of the group, that we are all very pleases with our final production. However, we all agree we have now watched it too many times that its now becoming boring to watch and we are starting to find faults where there aren't any faults.

I personal would just like to say a huge thank-you to Rachel, Roisin and Jade for welcoming me into the group and treating me like I have been there the whole time. We make a great team. Do you agree guys?
