Software

To edit our product we use imovie 06. We had the option of using imovie 08 however we decided to use 06 because it is more advanced than 08. Having had very little experience using imovie 06 except when editing our micro drama and preliminary task I went onto the Apple website and found tutorials for the program. The tutorials gave me useful insight on how to get the most out of the software. http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/tutorials/index.html
Some of the advantages of using this software were that it was simple and easy to use. I found the program was well laid out and everything was easy to find however the simplicity caused some complications for us for example you cant have two effects on one slide. We wanted to have a black and white photo for one of our flashbacks however we couldn't apply this to the photo and have a transition on it. To avoid this problem we changed the colour of the photo on a different program and then put it in imovie and added the transition. The transitions and effects were easy to apply and the layout of the program, with the slides to the right hand side and the timeline along the bottom made it easy to sort clips into the correct order.
