Editing-Part 1

 I am editing the thriller opening using Final cut because it is an easy program to use and has good final results. The image to the left shows the screen where you go through the video clip and select which part of it you want and the length you want it. It is then dragged onto the timeline. This part of final cut is useful because it clearly shows what the final shot will look like and this can help because it lets you focus on a certain part at a time.

This shows the timeline with the video footage on the top line while sound underneath. This lets you edit the sound and video separately. I am going to put the titles in the middle of the different scenes. This will make it run smoothly and would not have any jumps between scenes

In this image it shows that I have decided to delete the sound and just leave the video footage. This is because there is no speaking and I am going to put music there to enhance the eerie atmosphere.
