Preliminary task- Post Production

This week we began the procces of post production for our preliminary task. This was done by using Final Cut Pro, a video editing program. - below is a screenshot of the final cut editing timeline.

The first part of this program that we were familiarised with is how to access the raw footage from the final cut server. With this procces we had to 'check out' the edit proxy from the server due to the fact that this means we still have the raw footage in the server to fall back on if the editing does not initially go to plan. As well as this, storing the information in a server prevents us having to store it on the computer which we are using for editing saving both time and memory. Also we do not have to locate the footage on which we are working on from all of the raw footage due to the fact that we only check out what we need for post production specifically.

The most challenging aspect of this procces was the organisation of shots. This is due to the fact that many aspects of the task had to be taken into account, for example the continuity of the editing aswell as paying appropriate attention to the initial storyboard. The establishing external shot was chosen primarily in order to show that this scene is based around the presence of the entering character and the victimised characters reaction to this. We specifically chose wider framed shots over close ups in order to emphasise that fact that our victimised character is sat down and therefore looked down upon by the accusing figure.

Shots were mainly foccused on the victimised figure to establish the fact that the scene is about him more so than the other character, he is given the majority of the screen time.
