Editing for the practice task-

We finished our footage for the filming of the practice task. Today we went into the editing suite, and we were given an induction of how to use Final Cut Pro to edit our videos. 

The first picture shows the unedited piece of our work. It has just been uploaded to Final Cut Pro and we chose the clip that we wanted to use. We done this by clicking 'Ctrl and I' and 'Ctrl and O' to select the part of the clip we wanted to use.

In the second picture, we had made edits to the clip. I learnt how to cut parts of the video to get rid of unnecessary filming, and to cut it so that it finishes with the sound track that we were using. I also learnt how to mute the actual recording so that we could only hear the music track.

In the third picture is our final product. I learnt how to render on Final Cut Pro. At first I found this a bit complicated. However once I kept trying it to remember how it was done, it was no longer complicated. In this final product, I also learnt how to add effects to the piece of filming. I found this quite easy as there was not much to learn and know how to add the effect to this piece. We added two effects to the filming of this practice task. We added a fade into darkness at the end of the video, and we added a coloured effect midway/towards the end of the video which fit the lyrics.
