Post production software: FinalCut Pro

The software that I will be using in order to edit my raw footage will be Final Cut Pro on the Apple Mac. As I already have previous experience and knowledge on how this software works, I thing that this will benefit my product when it comes to editing the footage. I feel that I have a sufficient understanding on how to add effects and colour correct raw footage and I think that this will have many positive effects on my work.

Filming day 3

On my third and final day of filming, I was able to complete my product and gather all of the necessary footage that I required in order to begin exporting my raw footage onto the Apple Macs ready to begin the editing process. The final day of filming went very well I feel as I faced no real difficulties that may have taken time to amend or work around, this meant that I had more time to spend on the editing and producing of my final product. Overall, I feel that the time taken to film my footage was successful and it left me with a large amount of time to improve the footage, also because I didn't rush the gathering of my footage, I was able too spend time changing, adding and developing shots which I thought would improve the overall quality of my work. 

Filming day 2

On the second day of filming, I felt that overall the whole process went much better than the first day, most elements ran much more smoothly and I found most things easier. Also, I managed to pic up on and correct my mistakes that I had made on the previous day, for example I ensured that all of my shots were filmed in landscape as this will ensure that when I come to editing my product, all of my footage will fit correctly into Final Cut pro and this will make the whole process of editing quicker and easier. However the only negative from the second day was that I still didn't manage to get all of the required shots that I needed so therefore I have decided that i will be filming on a third day and I hope that after this, I will have obtained all of the footage that I need in order to go ahead and begin to work towards my final product. 

Filming day 1

On the first day of filming, I feel that most things went well overall. Below I have listed the things that worked well and what didn't work as well in the table. 

In order to address these problems that I faced on the first day, On the second day of filming I am going to ensure that all shots are filmed in portrait so that I do not have to go back and re shoot for as many shots. Also, I will need to ensure that the actors I am using are ready and available to be able to film the rest. 

Risk assessment

This was the risk assessment that was completed prior to filming my product. It has been signed by myself as well as my teacher, however it does not need to be signed by a parent as I am 18.
