Account of editing - 1

We used final cut pro to edit our promo. I used this programme before whilst editing our thriller so i was familiar with it already. I filmed the promo on Mpeg 2 NX5 cameras which have a hard disk which means that when we pause the camera it would save as a different shot, this also enabled us to upload the shots faster onto the computer compared to our thriller. Once the film was on the programme i had to sort out the shots into bins so that it is more organized and easier to find which shot you need, i labeled the bins head shots, wide shots of performance, concept shots, puddle shots etc. Next i had to place the sound track onto the time line to match the shots with the music. We had a slight problem with the song we had as it was not compatible for the programme so we had to convert it to a WAP file to work.
