KIDNAPPED, mine and Dan's preliminary task, was the first video I have ever editied before, so everything was new to me. I used Final Cut Pro, a piece of software available on most Mac's that offers some good editing tools to be used on videos. Though my first time, I feel that I grasped the basic concept of video editing and produced a fairly well edited video which included music and transistions between shots. Mr. Seston also said that it was a well edited video for my first one, which was something I was happy about.
However, of course the editing isn't perfect, and there are some things I would have liked to change. For example, the scene when I fight Lijo and Julian in the classroom originally had a freezeframe, where their names came up a they appeared in the shot. Although in the end it seemed better putting the credits in at the front, I still liked that freeze frame and wish it had been kept. Also, speaking on the opening credits, praise has to go to Dan there for he discovered the program and used it to make the opening credits.
A mistake I made was at the end of the video, during the closing credits. The music was supposed to start playing when the credit began rolling, but I forgot to move the music up along with it, so the music won't start until a few seconds into the video, and becaue the music was supposed to last the length of the credits, the video goes on a few more seconds than it should have. It was a simple mistake that could have been easily prevented, but due to my rush (and somewhat excitement) in uploading it.
However, I do think this was a success overall, and it has currently racked up a respectable 38 views on Youtube. I was happy with my first-time editing and how the video turned out in the end.
