Editing (:

At the moment, we are in the process of editing our footage. We have uploaded all the stuff we filmed, cut it from 5 minutes down to 2 minutes and 26 seconds and began adding titles. We had difficulty with the titles and decided to remove them for the time being.

The footage then got converted to black and white, which made the movie seem more as we planned it. We had a small technical hitch as our computers needed updating, so this slowed down our editing for a while. When we started again, we added names of the four people involved; Robert Davis, Hayley Bignall, Emily Bacon, Jon Cooper.

The next part of editing is the part where we need to get the rose petals, post box and phone box to show up red. This is sort of a problem as the technician, Rob, isn't too sure about how to help us either.... I FINALLY DID THE TITLES!!! :) love Emily xx We began messing around with Premiere Elements and found it impossible to make only the rose petals, etc, red.

After messing around a bit more, we decided to put all of the opening in faded colour apart from the black and white flash backs. We then changed our mind and put the first two flash backs in colour to signify happier times with her fiancé, and the final flashback in black and white to signify him leaving for war, and sadness. Although now, we are having all flashbacks in black and white.

All thats left to do is add the sound, seeing as our visual editing is almost finished. We have to get hold of a copyright free plane sound, and some music which fits. We also need to record our voice over of the letter, which we have asked Eve to do.

We just downloaded Beethoven - moonlight sonata to place over our footage, and then we are almost finished.

maybe you're here and life is really hard. maybe you've lost things in your life, those things that are really really painful. we know that probably everyone in this room lives with questions, things we're in the middle of, things that are resolving. we talk about complex issues, they're not simple, they're painful. and we dont wanna offer solutions or answers that are cheap. we've seen this really incredible thing begin to happen and we say the questions matter. the people who live with the questions, those people matter. - twloha
