Choice of editing software

As a group we reviewed our idea of our short and felt that it demands a high level of editing software.

During our AS course we were luckily enough to be able to use pinnacle in our production. This meant that we already had experience and knowledge of the software, and secondly we had an advantage in editing our production this year.


We want our film this year to be edited with the upmost professionalism, and we feel that using pinnacle will advocate this. We want our film to have clear crisp shots, clean transitions and quality editing techniques that we initially plan of using. For example, the use of blurring images, and the playing with speed and time to come across as professional not amateur.


We want the editing to reflect the hard work that we have all contributed to the film. That of the director, editor and other various roles in our production. We hope that the audience appreciate the hard work and effort that we put into the editing, and enjoy our short production that we hope is at good quality in audience viewing.

The only obstacle we have with using the computer software is that we have to convert the footage on the camera from VCR format to DV format so we are able to edit our footage using Pinnacle. This is easily over come as we can use a converter in which the camera sits on top of that is then connected to the PC and does it for us. It is very helpful.
