During our filming, we filmed every shot at least twice to ensure that in post-production editing, we could choose the best shot to ensure our film opening is to the highest possible quality. We had no technical issues when we filmed, however when it came to uploading the footage onto iMovie we faced a problem- the camera only films in the formats MXF and MP4, neither of which are compatible with iMovie.
Bella spent lots of time researching and downloading programmes from the internet, and tried ones such as VLC and Aiseesoft, but they didn't work because they lost the high quality, which is why we wanted to film on the Canon XF205 in the first place. Bella managed to find a conversion software from the App store called Prism, it was free and converted the MXF files in a high quality to MOV files.
Over the last couple of weeks since filming we have spent much time editing this part of our opening. We are happy with the editing now however still need to find non-diegetic music to insert over the footage. We are planning to film the rest of our film opening this coming week so we can edit at school once we come back after the half-term.
