Editing date Nov 3rd 2011 Location Oaks Park High School - Editing suite Members Present Lauren Ferdinand Editing Start Time 08:45 Editing Process Dragged all music and sound effects onto the appropriate points on the timeline Cut music down to the parts I needed to include in the film Made sure that music sounded continuous, from one song to another 12:00 Made sure all sound levels were correct, and not too high Problems Occurred

Some songs e.g. Star Wars theme tune and the Western music, were very difficult to edit together to make the music sound continuous. Making music and sounds longer by changing the speed meant that the whole timeline shifted to make this possible.

How I resolved the problems It was impossible for me to edit the two songs together in a way that sounded so professional, so I stopped the Western Music at the sound of the gun shot and faded in the Star Wars theme tune shortly after. I had to zoom out to see all of the footage in order to select the moved footage and drag it back to where it was meant to be. Finished Editing 14:30

Editing date Nov 7th 2011 Location Oaks Park High School - Editing suite Members Present Lauren Ferdinand Sandeep Birk Editing Start Time 11:30 Editing Process Edited in the title sequence this consisted of only the logo. I added a sound effect to this as well as a visual effect for interest 12:15 Edited in the credit sequence Problems Occurred I noticed that some of the text was different sizes and not all had a drop shadow How I resolved the problems Had to go back and make sure that all text was the same size and that every bit of text had a drop shadow, this was so that it was easily visible.
