Preliminary Task: Editing
After filming our short movie we moved on into our next stage which is the editing part. In order to know how to practically use the professional program called Final Cut Pro, one of our Film Experts took as through a step-by-step tutorial. My group members and me evaluated each piece of the footage from the day of the actual shoot. We then choose the best ones and started experimenting with the different editing options. When putting them together we had to make sure there were no continuity issues so that it wouldn't look unrealistic. During the editing session we realised the mistakes we have made while shooting the movie. For example having only wide/long shots before Santiago, one of our actors enters the room where the main action is taking place. It made it look unprofessional and it didn't intrigue the audience because there was no variation. We finished editing in our second lesson and we were satisfied with our final product keeping in mind the fact that it was our first time using Final Cut Pro.
