The Editing Process
As Claire and Jack have been doing the editing whilst myself and Charlotte are designing and creating the ancillary tasks, we have had almost no technical input to the final video, only inputting into creative ideas and the actual filming of the video.
So to illustrate all the hard work that they have been putting in, here are a few links to their work on editing!

Video Editing Update
Whilst myself and Charlotte have been working on the ancillary tasks of the digipak and magazine advert, Claire and Jack have been busily editing our video. I am no genius at using Final Cut Express but here are a few examples of their editing!
I know that one of the main things that our group as a whole wants is to work out how to get just one part of a clip in colour: in our case we want that to be the red rose.
Through watching exemplar work from last year we knew that this was possible and we also knew that we had to use the chroma keyer tools. However, although we followed instructions from our classmates and various instructions from the internet, nothing was happening to our clip. Eventually, Claire came across this helpful tutorial from YouTube, and we finally were able to create the effect on our own video!

I may still tweak with some elements of this advert, but as it stands, this is our final magazine advert!

Initial Feedback
In order to get this feedback we played our rough cut on a big screen in front of our classmates and teacher. They wrote down what they thought was good about it, and what they thought could be improved.
The main piece of feedback that came through from our classmates and teacher was that we had too many gaps in the video, which we were definitely aware of before the screening! Most people thought that the argument scene were we used a lot of fast cuts was well edited, however our teacher noticed that we had broken the 180 degree rule, something which we have to fix in the next 2 weeks.
The main scene that everyone seemed to like was the very end scene at the graveyard which we desaturated to make black and white. The feedback was that the imagery went well with the tone and pace of the music and story at that point. The scene where we created a shadow so we can see the girl pick petals of the rose went down well with our teacher, who said that we need to incorporate the rose into the video more.
