Editing

Throughout the whole piece of coursework editing has appeared to be the most challenging.



Once we had uploaded the video through a process called Log and Capture.

we needed to cut out all the shots we were not using for example, shots that had the wrong lighting or objects in the way.



The space bar is used to play and pause the video at any time, this helps to catch a specific moment on the timeline. This especially helped us when making a montage for the introduction of the video as we needed short clips to work in time with the beat of the music. We wanted a really effective beginning to catch the audiences attention.



Because we had a lot of footage to work with editing the video its self wasnt to hard, we managed to fit the clips in sync with the music.

Using the control plus/minus keys meant wewere able to zoom in and out of the timeline therefore when editing a clip by just couple of miliseconds we were able to zoom in to get it as close as possible which is why are video is so in sync.

We also used special effects in a section of it which is instrumental, thisturned out to be very effective, what we did was at first we had some more montage edits followed by kelsey walking across the screen side on in slow motion, we used tools from final cut pro to slow her walking down and keep the beat of the music fast, but still in time with the music.



I have learnt a lot using final cut pro as it is a very detailed program when you compare it to Windows Movie Maker and similar programmes.
