Tutorial on editing software

For our thriller preparation Louisa took us into to the computer suite where Mickey introduced us to final cut pro and showed us how to use it. Final Cut Pro is a software used to edit clips. This software is quite complex as they are many functions. Here are some example, you can put in lots of different types of transitions, bond two clips together, shorten the length of the clip. To make our editing skills better we had to put a clip in the right order and in this clip we had the opportunity to alter the order of the clip. I am sure all this will help with us putting together our thiller.

For the second part of the lesson we had to try and make a newspaper readthrilling and exciting. Prior to this i had to plan so myself, Sly, Marika and Zanele sat around and got thinking. For additional help Lousia gave us a story board sheet with 6 empty spaces and in those empty spaces we had to put in what type of camera shots we would take and also the angles and lighting. This made us think out all the things needed to create thrill and suspense as well as, keeping us organised.
