Prelim Post Production Blog

During our last lesson is Media we began to edit our sequences. We used Final cut pro to achieve this. The rushes tape was uploaded to the Final Cut server form which we accessed an Edit Proxy (digital copy) which we opened in Final Cut Pro.

We used continuity editing, this means that when the shots that are selected are put into the correct order that makes sense.

We set up a log bin and began logging our shots. This is basically when we log the shots that we want to use in the sequence and drag them into the log bin to save them. This is called organising your shots. The process of logging shots is by selecting it 'in' at the beginning of where you want the sequence to start and then 'out' to where you want the shot to end, and that section of the shot you wish to use will be selected.

We then put them in shot order. We put them into an order that will make sense to the audience (continuity editing). We use different types of shots to attract the audience to these key features. For example when we do close up shots, this is too attract the audience to that thing either is a negative or a possitive mannor. When we used a close up of the gun this was to make the effect that this was what the story was about this particular feature.
Unfortunally we lost our digetic sounds during the filming process and so we have to put the shots in the exact order to what the sounds goes and then record the sounds seperatly and then slot it in.

We have to make sure that when were filming each shot is down exactally the same and there are no changes in any of the shots, so that when it comes to editing there are continutity errors so that it doesn't look odd.
