Introduction To Editing

When editing my preliminary and main task, i used 'final cut', a professional editing software on imac computers. In order to start editing my shots i had to:

• Open up 'final cut', set the settings and where you're going to save it

• Connect the video camera to the computer and put it on play/edit mode. Then click file > capture your filming

• When all your filming has captured press the esc button

This is the timeline in which you place your video clips onto, arranging them to create your preliminary and main task

This is the viewing window where you can view everything you have done

Here is a print screen of the 'final cut' software.

Here is the first video i edited:

For this task i had to bring a storyboard to life by acting out all the frames using the same camera shots. I found this easy to film but hard to edit as i didn't think the transitions between shots ran smoothly. As you can see the shots look quite messy put together.
