Final cut pro.

Final cut pro is a professional non linear editing software application developed by Apple ink. I had previously never used final cut pro and even though we hardly explored into the mechanics of the program in depth; what we did look at, was fairly simple to me. We learnt how to create a log bin and sift and sort your material. The log bin is essentially a folder where you keep your best shots. Because we had to follow a set story board, my group’s creativity was stifled slightly, but we were allowed to add certain shots and actions that were not from the story board.
One we had cut and sorted your best clips into the log bin. We had to stick them together, recognising the fact that the final piece had to make sense chronologically, and even the slightest time over lap could help destroy the illusion.
We then went through the piece and changed any thing that we thought didn’t look right. We then also discovered that the microphone when filming, wasn’t working so we had to overlap our actors’ dialogue with our own voices. We also needed to delete any unwanted noises especially from the background.
