I have began to edit my film opening using iMovie. It's quite difficult because I have never properly used iMovie before so I watched some YouTube clips on how to use iMovie effectively.

The editing is also difficult because I am trying to keep the shots in time with the music, to create the full effect of the party and also because I am a musician and I hate things being out of time with music.
Already, I have come across many problems with the editing process which is why it has taken so long to begin. Firstly, we lost some key footage we needed for the end scene so we had to search for the missing memory stick. Luckily we found it in Dan's bedroom but that was our first problem. The second problem was that the memory card from my camera had a virus on it so we had to take it to the technician at school to transfer the files onto a different memory card so that the virus wouldn't wipe the files and that took up a whole lessons worth of editing time. The third problem was that some of the shots that were filmed weren't how we had planned them. For example, the actor used was laughing throughout and there were no other possible shots filmed that we could use or the sun was directly behind the actor, making the actor seem like a shadow. Myself and Dan sat down and spoke for a lesson about how we could go around this and due to Dan's busy schedule, we decided to work with what we have which I am currently trying to do, as I blog.
Roughly, I reckon the editing will take around five-ish hours to complete, providing nothing else goes wrong.
