Children's Film: Editing Day 3

We finished the editing process today. All the cuts were finished yesterday, so we added in the transitions and music and sound effects. We decided to put all of the audio files into one Garageband file so that we could simply cut it in Final Cut Express, and would prevent us from having to import multiple files. Credits and a title have also been added giving the names of Director, Producer, Editor etc.

Now that the editing process is complete we have our footage cut and flowing, with credits, music and sound effects all at appropriate times. We have made sure that the music/sound effects doesn't overpower the dialogue parts of the sequence, and have decided to subtly lower the music when dialogue begins.

Adding credits

I mentioned earlier, in a post here, that we would have to check that the classification of the film. Going back to our post on classification, we have decided that the best classification for our opening sequence is PG. Earlier I thought that we may need to change the classification to U, however, looking back at the classification rules PG is more suitable. This is because the threats represented by the villain show no outcome, and mild discrimination is shown in the reality school scene when the apple is thrown out of Jeremy's hand. Therefore PG is more suitable, and it's better to choose this classification to be safe.

Note: Our classification is PG.
