EDITING FOR ROUGH CUT!

First day of editing

Today as a group we sat down to begin or editing process. The first thing that we did was watch all of our clips and decided which ones we wanted to include and to make sure the clip was right and matched what we wanted. i.e making sure the framing of the shot was right, the angle of the shot was appropriate etc.

Once we chosen the clips we wanted to keep we went onto to final cut pro and put in the original Katy b song so we can put in our clips to lip sync.

Steps

1. we wanted to sort out our opening of our song and and introducing the artist. while doing this we agreed that we wanted the very opening of the song (instrumental) to be of the smoke.
2. for the opening we realized that some of the clips was too long and took up too much time so we either had to cut it with the razor tool or change the speed by fast forwarding.
3. the next step we did was added all our base tracks and marked the verses and choruses on both the original song and our clips so the lip syncing matched

During editing we had a situation with our base tracks. we had more clips than actual base tracks to edit. we have 4 base tracks and 100's or separate clips of shots of the artist singing so this would mean we would have a lot of clips to add on top and more edits to be done.
