AIM- To ensure the visual is correct
- Picking out the most suitable clips from the shots that we have recorded and deleting the ones that we do not need. E.G. shots that we have filmed multiple times or have made a mistake on.
- Using the converter program 'Toast' on macs to convert the video files so that it is compatible with the Final cut software.
- Creating a new project and beginning to edit our film.
- Adding all of the clips into one big piece and noticing that exceeded the time limit that we have for the opening.
- Cutting the clips that we did not use, and shortening irrelevant shots in order to reduce the overall time.
- Editing each shot individually and beginning to become more aware of the different tools on the program including 'cutting', transitions and modifying effects such as speed.
This was our very first time editing our film and it did not go as expected. The converting of files and uploading the content onto final cut was easy but once we realized that we had exceeded our time limit we were unsure about what to cut. This was a long process as we didn't want to get of the really good shots, and affect the plot of the opening so we found it difficult to decide which shots to cut. However after we managed reduce our overall time we were able to effectively start to editing the clips involved using tools such as the split button, cut button and implementing appropriate transition.
Because we have never used a program like this before it took some time for me and my partner to learn how to use the tools as effective as we could so after some tries we managed to use the tools how we wanted to use them. After some periods of time we were able to cut the shots into how we wanted them to be, although very few shots did not turn out well, the majority of them looked really good. We spent a lot of time during our two hour lesson completing this, and we are going to spend more time during our free periods tommorow in order to continue fixing up certain parts.
