Prelim Post Production Blog - Editing.

To edit my Prelim task i needed to use Final Cut Pro as to link all the shot togeather in order for them to fit in and look realistic. In order to do this i accesed the sever and then i had to find my work check the sever in order to the edit the scene and then see if it had been safely stored.

Logging shots.
I decide to filter all of my shots, which had been kept in rushers bin. i wanted to find the best shots which would fit into my scene and make it run smoothly, the shots i rejected i lefted in the rushers bin these were the ones who just didnt fit with the story or werent as good as the others. The reason why i did this was because i wanted to get the best shots possible and once i came to editing it made it alot easier becuase i just had good shots rather than the bad ones.

Shot order.
For this it was very important to get all the shots togeather in order for them to make sense and make the scene and flow smoothly. To make my scene more interesting i decided to cut to different point of view this would enable a different propectous for the viewer and it would enharnce the scene. I filmed some other the shoulder shots and when i put them togeather in the right order it created a shot reverse shot i realised that i couldnt break the 180 degree rule because i knew it wouldnt look right so i used shot revesre shot in the right order so it would look right. Also i had to make all the shots in the right order as it would muck up the continuity.

Editing in Final Cut.
In the final aspects of editing i wanted to quicken up the pace in order to add more tension to the scene, also i wanted to use quick cuts and then at the end of the scene as the girl leaves to slow more emotion in the mans face. I wanted to change the pace because it gave more light and shade to my scene and make it more exciting. I also had to make saw that everything ran smoothly and nothing looked out of place so i checked it again and it seemed ok.
