Editing

Now we have the filming done we have moved into the editing suit to put it all together, on Final Cut Pro which is used to edit many well known films.

Firstly we had a look through all of the footage we have and highlighted the best takes of the different shots, so when we come to putting it together we can quickly skip it the good ones.
It will be important for the team to equally work together, taking to jobs in turn and contributing ideas.


Because we used Final Cut Pro for our Prelims we all know how to use the program, and so we quickly started chosing which shots we wanted in. But after putting the wire shots, the hacker and the leaders all in together the sequence was looking too messy and confusing. So i began creating a new sequence which begins with all the wire shots fading together where we can insert the names in the moving shots, and then fall into the dialog and shos of the leaders. This gives the sequence a flow and the audience can get a sense of the genre right at the start when the names are coming up but it doesnt last so long that they will become uninterested because then the dialog begins.


I watched a movie called Salt which is an Action / Crime genre and involoves the President of the United States. In one main scene the President is taken to his safe location which is feet under the White House, this made me think of our thiller as that is what we were going for with our conference location.
