Editing Process
The filming task for our collateral remake may have been fun, however the editing was quite different. As it was our first time using Final Cut Pro we had difficulties using it. Also it was our first time using the two connected mac screens which was also very new. However once we got started and got a few tips from the teacher we got on our way.
The screen shot above shows the 'bin' and the two screens. We decided to use only one of the mac screens to display everything as it will be easier to see everything. Also because using both of the screens was very confusing to us as we are still just starting off. From the image you can see that we had all of our chosen footage. However then we decided we wanted to add sound and also some effects to make it look even better.
This was the soundtrack we had decided to use. At first we thought that finding a soundtrack will be very difficult especially because it would be playing throughout the clip. This is because our original does not have any diegetic sound. The soundtrack will be played as non-diegetic music. However we got lucky as this soundtrack went perfectly along with our clip and also paused at moments where the video had slow motion.
This is the screenshot of our clip finally finished. As you can see from the Final Cut Bin we added slow motion in certain parts of it. Also another thing you can see is that the soundtrack has been inserted to play throughout the video. After having finished the video we had been told that we had made a minor mistake however it was not anything to panic about. We had been told that if we had inserted the separate clips into the bottom row of the bin, it would have been easier when coming to edit. However we did not ignore the teacher, but instead took the advice for future editing.
Overall I thought it was a really good exercise to help us understand and learn about both Final Cut Pro and also how to use the camera.
