CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

Although Matt was our chief editor, every member in the group helped out and were present when the editing process was taking place. We used Final Cut Pro X to edit our film opening because it offers a wide range of tools and options we could use to improve our footage. For example, the ability to rotate footage round helped us significantly with the Kieran Tucker walking scene. 

Initially, we just placed all of our chosen clips into Final Cut Pro where we were able to rearrange them into an order which we liked. Once we had done this we watched over all our raw footage to make sure there were no obstructions or problems. After we decided upon the order of footage and made sure all the footage was usable, we added the music into the editor. One benefit of using Final Cut Pro is that is allowed us to easily adjust the sound. For example, we needed to make the music quieter in order to hear the dialogue. 

Overall, I was pleased with our editing process as we managed to make our film opening look professional by making different edits and changes to our raw footage.
