Evaluation

Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome Children's television program. I think we all worked well together as a group, and I would definitely be happy to work with both Lucy and Jasmin again. Our main struggles in the production process were the post-production because there was little experience in the group. However I feel that we overcame this and have all learnt a lot about editing in Final Cut Pro. Although the editing is not perfect, I am very pleased with the piece of work we have submitted.

The editing and post-production process

When we began editing, only Lucy had experience on final cut pro before. Jamin and I were keen to learn, but Lucy began because of her previous experience. We began by editing together the shots in the sequence we wanted them, which was fairly simple. It them came to editing on the green screen backgrounds. We found this rather difficult, as none of us had done it before. We used 'The Focal Easy Guide to Final Cut Pro 7' by Rick Young (2010) and online Youtube clips (Example below) in order to help and guide us through the green screen editing process.

Filming with our mini star Mia

On Sunday 29th April, we all travelled to Essex, where my 4-year old Goddaughter lives. We aimed to get a few shots of Mia for the film.

We were a little apprehensive as we were not sure if the weather would hold up for us and we needed a few shots outside. Luckily it did not rain, and Mia was a perfect actress for us.
