Editing lesson

Our first editing lesson we had to use our own prelim task that we had shot the day before and edit to show by the end of the week, We first of all looked at all our footage to pick the shots that we wanted to use and put them in a bin marked, good shots, we then went through those shots to sort out which shot would go where we then dragged our first shot on to the time line so that we could edit the shot and cut it down to fit in with all the other shots to create a sequence. After a while we started to get the hang of it and it became easier seeing the story line and sorting out what shot needed to go next to complete the sequence. We felt like we had created a simple sequence with some good cuts but this was only the starting point of our editing as it did jump from picture to picture so we needed to work on making it a lot smoother. We also learnt how to cut out some of the sounds in the background so that it would fit with the picture above, this was similer to how you cut the shot but this took more time as you had to listen very carefully to where the cuts needed too be.
