Starrt of editing!!

So today we began filming with our new best buddy, final cut! me and Carla aren't particularly familiar with final cut as we've only edited on imovie before, but we managed to get the hang of it fairly quickly!

We decided to just to a draft version without colour editing, transitions etc, we just wanted to cut our footage in time to make sure that the shots flow and that they work properly when running together. We managed to edit together about a minute of footage and all in all we are pretty pleased! We found a mistake in one of the shots, where Max begins to walk but he is standing still at the beginning of the shot, making the running look un-continuous.


After editing we've also realised how much work is going to need to go into the editing to get it correctly in time with the song. As the song is quite fast, we have needed to have some really quick shots, but so far they work perfectly, however we are sceptical as to the rest of the video. 


All in all we are very happy with our progress so far, and we plan to finish this draft, have Miss Hill and a few students watch it and then get some feedback. Next lesson I think I will play around with some of the colour correction on the footage just to see how I can change the colours and adapt them to fit into the music video. Overall, we are both very happy, and getting on very well with final cut...(so far...)

More to follow :)
