Hi folks,
This is my first post on here so a little background info won't go a miss. I am Luke, a 23 year old student living in Manchester.
I am just about to go into my second year at Salford University studying Comedy writing and performance.
My main interests are watching horror films and documentaries and these are areas that I would like to work in professionally once I have finished my degree (which whilst titled as Comedy writing and performance allows different pathways to be taken and is basically a course in media production).
I am in a very lucky position in that I have access to the Universities wide array of equipment, a lot of it high end stuff, however when it comes to editing and working on films at home I am worse than clueless.
As far as hardware goes I use(abuse) a 13 inch macbook pro that is 2 years old now but has never let me down. Software wise I have nothing other than what came on the macbook, I'm assuming I will have to purchase some decent editing software as I-movie isn't going to cut it.
So basically where do I start, my intentions are to write a 5 minute short horror, use actors from my course and use the universities equipment then edit it myself. Any tips on software I should be looking at would be hugely useful.
Thanks!
