Account of editing preliminary Task

We used final cut to edit our Preliminary Task. To gain access to the programme we had to enter a password and then find our groups filming, which our teachers had kindly uploaded for us. We then double clicked on it and got to our work place where we were then able to edit the sequence. There are two screens, both in the top right hand corner, in one you can let one sequence take play at one point, and have it start at another point in the other box. It is important when cutting the sequence that you put the sequence into the timeline and then cut out the different shots by pressing “I” when it starts and “o” when it ends. Then this single shot you will have as a separate file. Once you have done this with the whole sequence, we needed to then put them all together and in the correct order, then beginning and ending to make everything fit. For this, we just needed to take the shots and put them in the correct place on the timeline so it all fitted and looked smooth. As our microphone on the camera had a fault on it, we just did a voice over for the sound and added that on at the end.
