To edit our prelim task we used Final Cut Pro to edit it.
this is what the final cut pro editing time line look likes, firstly we had to check our work out of the server we did this by clicking on the balls arranged into a cube, we then had to put our work onto the desktop and re open it in order to edit it on final cut pro. if we save our work on the server it doesn't slow down the computer we are working on as it isn't stored on the computer, the server also insures that our work is safe so if we edit our work and mess it up we can always go back and start again as it is always saved on the server.
Continuity editing
This is the predominant style of editing in narrative cinema and television. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots. for example if we were to start our edit with a extreme close up of someones eyes the audience wouldn't know whats going on as it wouldn't set the scene like a wide shot of both the characters. when we were editing we had to make sure we matched on action so the transition between to shoots is smooth, and the audience doesn't notice a jump e.g. the camera could go from one end of the room too another and the audience wouldn't notice.
Logging our shots
we filmed our sequence fully in each type of shot so when it came to editing we had lots of options we could choose from for our final edit. we had to mix up lots of our shots to make them fit and the transitions look smooth we tried to match on action, we had to bins of film we had the original ones with all the shots and we copied these to the final edit bin.
Organising the shots
we arranged the shots in the way we thought which told the story best and made sense to the audience for example we didnt start our edit with a close up as we needed to set the scene with JJ walking through a door into the room it set the scene.
