Difficulties encountered when editing

Film Distribution

We decided to distribute our film to Film4 productions. This is because our target audience are teenagers so by distributing it on this channel, it means that we are more likely to reach our target audience because they do not have to pay to watch it as it is on one of the main TV channels. Also, we looked at the Film4 website and they distribute films similar to ours so it seemed suitable.

Choosing a film name

We have had many issues and disagreements when coming up with a name. We wanted to find a clever name that explains our narrative in a few words. Here are a few options:

The Splintering

The Heist

The Get Away

Shatter

Fracture

In the end we decided on The Splintering as it represents the group of criminals breaking away as they got older. We feel this name had a metaphorical meaning which is why we chose it. 

Editing Equipment

After filming our footage for the opening, we decided to edit it on iMovie using my MacBook Pro. This made it a lot easier as it is portable so we could edit it anywhere rather than being restricted to the media suite at school. Especially with February half term taking up a lot of our editing time, if we did not use my laptop, we would not have been able to do any editing over the half term.
