PRACTICE: Editing of the Prelim

When editing the footage of  our preliminary film, we used Final cut pro. Today it is widely used by professional and amateur film-makers and can be used to make complex effects and produce professional quality films.

During the lesson that we edited our prelim film, we found the program quite easy to use, particularly because of the fact that we have used it in the past, such as when we re-edited the opening of 'Arlington Road'.

We also used Soundtrack pro, to edit our film when adding effective sounds and music. This was also easy to use, however we had faced a technical fault with the sound of the prelim, when we first blogged it, but resolved this issue with a teacher's assistance.
