During Friday mornings lesson, we learnt the basics of editing a small section of film in the media Mac Suite. Below is a screen shot showing Final Cut Pro.
The top left box on the screen shows the browser window where all of the unedited clips are stored until we need to use them. Once we have used them, they stay there unedited so we can use them again for split edits. The clips from the browser window can be played in the middle box and the right hand box shows the final piece, from the timeline which is underneath.
The lesson started by us going to the special media suite in our college to use the new, big screen apple macs. We sat down and listened to what we would be learning about today; sounded exciting.
We opened up Final Cut Pro and learnt the basics of editing. Firstly we learnt how to put 'inpoints' and 'outpoints'. After perfecting this, we did the Bait Tutorial and after opening a clip from the browser window, we put in and out points on the clips.
We spent a while getting used to this and after doing this, we then dragged the edited clip with the in and out points on the timeline to be played. We then played it and checked that it was working well.
After making sure it was excatly how we wanted it, we learnt how to add transition effects. We used the effects that were built into the Mac, and added them to our piece. We decided that in our Media group (Me, Alison Johns, Jack Callow, Glenn Boateng) that we wanted to show each other our work before we blogged this. We enjoyed using our skills that we have learnt in the lesson on the clip and feel more ready to make our Thriller film!
