Skills Audit - Editing


I used 'Final Cut Pro' to edit a film called 'BAIT' and also created my own sequence of events from selected parts of the film. I did this by choosing parts of the clips and then dragged them onto the timeline; I continued to do this with various other clips and I had eventually created my very own sequence of events.
I learnt many things while using 'Final Cut Pro':
  • I learnt to cut and choose relevant bits of film, using in and out points (by typing in 'I' and 'O' at the relevant points)
  • I learnt to drag my chosen bits of film to the timeline
  • I learnt how to move bits of selected film to overlap each other, creating a match-cut and shot-reverse-shot effect
  • I learnt how to capture a still clip of my film sequence (see picture attached to this post)
  • I learnt how to use the 'razor tool' on 'Final Cut Pro' to cut out bits of irrelevant film from my sequence
