My first attempt at Editing

In our lesson this week we had to edit a piece of work which was a final piece a few years ago. Our task was to make the clip identical to the old one using our editing skills. I was put with Connor who done creative media for GSCE so already knew how to edit films. As I have never done anything like this before Connor showed me how to do it once and then guided me through it until I got the hang of it.  Connor then left the rest to me as he wanted me to gain a good understanding to help with our own work.
Strengths: I found that editing itself was pretty easy once I understood what to do and our piece was smooth with no jumps. Adding the titles were very easy however we didn’t have enough time to finish it but if we would have had longer it would have looked great.
Weaknesses: the start of the editing went a bit wrong and for some reason cut out the first bit and I didnt know how to change it back. Also the editing of the clip was a few seconds over and not in time to the original.
Overall though I found that for my first time editing I done a good job thanks to the help of Connor. I have gained new skills that I will be able to use when editing my own intro and I will have more of an understanding of what Connor means when we disgust how we are editing and why we are doing in it in that certain way.
