We went into school today to upload what we have filmed in the last two sessions and then start editing it. Our footage was not letterboxing like it normally does as we had not filmed with the same camera and the camera we had used films in a different format. This was bad news as it meant that half of our trailer would be letterboxed and the other half not. After worrying about this for a while we started to think about whether or not we could re-shoot one half of our footage,as we didn't like the fact that it would be different, but we decided against it as there would be too much to do. However, as we were flicking through the effects on IMovie looking for anything we might want to use in our trailer, we found an effect that covers the top and bottom of the footage in a black box that resembled the letterboxing perfectly. We happily started to use this on the non-letterboxed footage so that it would match the rest of the trailer. Of course we made sure that it was exactly the same size as the actual letterbox.
