Preparing all of my clips for my trailer has been a difficult process. I kept finding things I wanted to add in, things that I didn't want to include and I found many difficulties with shots that I wanted. A lot of my actors dropped out last minute leaving me stressed and pushed for time but I decided to begin the editing process and start piecing together my trailer.
First of all, I had to work out how to import a file from GarageBand, a piece of software featured on Apple products which is essentially a high quality recording device, to iMovie. I had to use a YouTube tutorial video to work out how to do it as I have the new updated version of iMovie compared to what I used last year. By downloading the updated version of iMovie, it meant I had to learn how to use it all again from scratch, learning the basics such as importing clips, cutting clips, editing the colour and sound of clips and how to use transitions.
Once I had imported the voice over, I decided to put all of the clips I definitely wanted to use in my footage onto my iMovie editing timeline and starting sorting out the timing of the clips e.g. how long each shot would last for, possible transitions between shots and which clips matched up to certain points in the voice over.
Eventually, after listening to my voice over quite a lot, I decided I didn't like the way my voice actor was taking breaths and pauses. It wasn't how I imagined it to be, so I edited the voice over, cutting parts out that I didn't like and making the voice over seem more fluid.
Also, during the editing process, I have realised I am missing a lot of shots that I wanted as my computer, turns out, did delete some of my footage when it broke so I am going to have to re-film quite a lot of my stuff unfortunately.
