Editing

With our editing we were told to use Final Cut express when I was used to using iMovie from year 10 to year 11 but it's always good to try something new out, also Final Cut express seems more professional and can do alot more. We were taught the basics as a group and we picked it up fairly quickly. We started putting our clips into the software and trying to put them in order of the story line. We had a few clips of a certain scene we filmed so that we had more variation to choose the perfect one, after we had chosen these we put them into the timeline. We started to cut each scene that seemed to go on for too long, we soon seemed to realise that if a scene went on for even a second over it would look wrong and as if there was a error in the editing. We would all watch the clips and decide when to cut it, and then we would erase the bits that we did not want in the scene, we would move the clips around to see what looked better and made more sense to the storyline. Each time we would edit a few clips or cut the time down we would watch what we had so far, just to make sure that there was not something that we had missed out on.
