Editing

To edit my footage I used a variety of programs, each with unique benefits.

The main program that I used to edit was Sony Vegas movie studio HD platinum, I chose to use this program because of the accuracy and detail that you can edit with. Also Sony Vegas has lots of effects that are well suited to all sorts of productions. Through the use of Sony Vegas I was also able to easily adjust soundtracks to fit with my filming.

The second program that I used to edit with is Adobe After Effects CS5, this program allows med to easily superimpose on to my footage. I mainly used After Effects to produce the shot of me firing the gun and the MP being shot. However After Effects doesn't support sound, therefore I used Sony Vegas to finish the scene by adding the soundtrack and Gun shot.

During the shooting scene I had to rotoscope the subject, this means separating him from the background, therefore I had to edit the background of this shot so that the background isn't affected by the rotoscoping process. To do this I used Adobe Photoshop, I used the clone stamp tool which means that the existing background is copied and by doing this I can remove the subject from the shot, and leave just the background.
