Prelim Post Production.

To access are footage on Final Cut Pro we have to check out the raw footage from Final Cut Server. Once this had been done the raw video footage will be acssesable from Final Cut Pro.

Intially all the raw footage is in the rushers bin, from there we went threw every take of each shot to see which had the the best performance, lighting, sound, ect. Once we had chosen the take that we wanted we draged it in the log bin, we repeated this for each shot. We do this so all the good takes are in one area where they can be quickly acsesed.

Once a take of every shot has been placed in the log bin you can begin edidting the shots. we did this by selecting the shot we wanted and cuting it into the length that we wanted in the clip viewer before dragging the shot into the timeline, we repeated this for all the shots we wanted to have shown in the finnished product.

We chose spesific shots at differnt times for differnt reasons, We started of the scene with a wide tracking point of view shot the cut to a wide shot. This established the area so the audience can see where the scene is set which will assist the narrative. Then we continued to cut to relevent shots of either a character talking or acother character reacting. This helps the narrative of the story work and make sence.

We tryed to show that one character was more domminate then the orther by haveing the intal shot looking up at one character makeing them look bigger and more powereful.

When cutting from a certain shot to another, you have to make sure the timeing of the shots are inline with each orther, as the diologue must link up. This adds to the continuity of the scene.  Continuity editing 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.
