Preliminary Task 

Converting Footage
After production we converted the footage onto Final cut pro, we were all excited and interested to see what we had filmed as none of us had watched it back before.

Editing
When we first imported the footage to final cut pro it originally looked difficult to edit, but once started playing around with the tools it became much more easier than we initially thought it would be.

Because we filmed two different shots with the voice recording we had to overlap them which was new technique for us but it looked very effective once we had figured it out. When the phone rang in the clip we wanted to make it feel that somebody was on the other end of the call, as originally we filmed the scene with Molly talking normally in front of the camera. To do this we used a voice filter.

Music
Finding the music to fit was quite difficult as the music determines the mood and the way we view something. In the end we went with a piece of music called  'Donkey Kong' as it had a serious feel to it and it suited the footage quite well.

What was frustrating was that when we were editing  we had to constantly keep rendering the clips because we had to make all the different layers into one, we also found out that we had missed a scene so at one point it doesn't make much sense as one of the characters responds in an angry manor to nothing.

After editing it was time to convert what we had to YouTube. When playing it on YouTube the clip tells us that it is 3:10 minutes long however it is actually 0:45 seconds long, the mistake we made was we forgot to cut the music.
