Final Editing.

After I'd finished filming and uploading the footage onto Primier Pro, I need to think about where the appropriate moments were to put in the new footage. Luckily I quickly found my favourite clips and cut them down to manageable sizes. I found that one of the clips worked incredibly well and it was just down to luck. 
I had a few problems with my audio, the poem narration kept cutting up when I moved things, so that took quite a lot of extra time just ensuring that it was all in order. However I needed to be extremely pedantic to get the best results possible. I found that for some reason some of the audio was louder than other bits, so i had to keep cutting it and adjusting, which was fairly time consuming. 
After showing Miss my (what I thought was ) finished work, she gave me a few more ideas. She told me that to create a better effect I should merge each clip together. I tried it and it actually worked really well. It made the whole thing run a lot smoother. 
Also, I had only put in about 3 or 4 credits in my opening. She told me that because of the nature of opening, it made it look more like a trailer. I listened to her advice and began to add in more credits. I also thought that by putting the name of the film 'Dear Diary' a the end of my two minute opening this also made it look like a advert. I moved my title a little further forward to remedy this.
When adding my titles in, I found it incredibly hard to find a colour that was visible. I wanted to stick to pastel colours however in the majority of scenes I wasnt able to, because they didnt show up. I tried to switch all the titling to black, however in some cases even this didn't show up. It was going to have to be a long process of trial and error.
