Back to school on a Monday where we as group had gathered enough footage to at least edit for around 45 seconds of the music video. First of all we needed to learn the process of transferring the data from the Video Camera (HD) to the Apple Mac. This was simple as we all have had previous experience of doing the same thing on a PC so it was very similar, by extracting the SD Memory Card from the Video Camera and inserting it into a SD Card Adapter which is used to connect the SD Memory Card to the Apple Mac. Once we had our recent footage of the opening scene and the journey to work scene on the Apple Mac we could start to use the program Final Cut Express. As we had little knowledge of how to use Final Cut Express we required a bit of help from our teachers in getting started but once we knew the key processes of Final Cut Express we were confident in using the editing program.
We first needed to insert all of the footage from both the scenes we had previously filmed onto the editing time line where it allows us to add visual footage as well as audio. Secondly we needed to insert our soundtrack onto the editing timeline so we could edit our footage in line with our soundtrack otherwise known as rhythmic editing. Later on in the lesson we had to render all of the footage so we could eventually edit what we had filmed so far.
This was a learning curve for all of us as we all learnt the starting off process to the editing program 'Final Cut Express' and we would use this knowledge for future reference when editing our music video. We used this lesson to play around with the editing program, Final Cut so we could become familiar with it making it easier to use in the future.
