G324 Ben Garvey: The software

I movie

For the more basic editing to our teaser trailer we decided to do this on I movie as final cut express can be used better for the more advanced editing. i movie is very simple to use as it only does a limited ammount of tasks but this was perfect for the early editing stages of the teaser trailer such as deciding which clips we should but where, and which clips we should delete. We also added a greyscale lense to the beginning of our short trailer as it helps show the clip is a past event.

Final Cut Express 4

For the more advanced and final stages of the editing we used final cut express, This isa much better editing software and is even used in hollywood by directors such as francis ford coppola. This software has two different screens to edit with but does require you to know what you are doing to even get started. We had a media technition at our school to help teach us the basics so we could begin editing.

Garage Band

to create a soundtrack for our media product we could use garage band 3 which is installed on the mac computers at school. This again is quite a basic level of software ideal for a short soundtrack needed for a teaser trailer.
