Short Sequence

Over the last couple of lessons we have been using the shots we filmed from our prelim and editing them together to make them look more professional. We learnt how to put them together in order and at the right time. However along the way, through looking at detail we found out what we did wrong and how we should improve it.

We started by checking in on final cut, by clicking the settings button and ticking the box check in. From this we found our folder with all our shots and loaded them up onto final cut. Because some of the shots were not as good as others and mistakes were made we made to folders, one named " " and the other " " one contained the original shots. From here we went and looked through them all seeing which ones were good and not, the ones that were good we put in the "" folder to use in our sequence. Through looking at all the shots we immediately realised that we had made a mistake, we had filmed a bit above the set so it looks fake, normally we should check and see if anything is perfect on shot.

Once we had a folder full of the shots we wanted to use including wide shots, over the shoulder shots, close ups etc.. we started putting them together. In order to get the clips onto the timeline we had to double click on the clip which will then be loaded up onto a screen, from here we needed to trim them so we did not have lots of unwanted shots. To do this we press the I key which marks where the clip will start from and then with the O key marks out and where the clip will stop. When we all decided that we were happy with the timing of the shot we dragged it onto the timeline.

This process went on for a while as we had to get the whole prelim within the short film, through this process we faced some problems. For example on some of the clips it made a blip sound where a really small piece of audio had crossed over and made this sound. To prevent this from happening we added an audio fader which silenced out this clip.

So we have sucesfully put the small clip together using many different shots.
