on friday ( 19th september 08) we edited our short piece of film and inserted a title and credits we also had fade in's and fade out's we called our film 'the deal' as it was most appropriate as the footage was of lucy and josh shaking hand and saying 'do we have a deal?' next lesson hopefully if goes to plan we should have our short film written onto a DVD so we can watch it on a tv instead of the computer.
