On friday the editing of our preliminary began. Matt gave us a brief introduction on how to use the editing software and told us about logging, organising, order and editing of our shots. After that we began our work on the actual project, which was much easier than we as a team had originally thought it would be.
When it came to logging our shots, we started off with a rush, which is the raw footage that we had made on the day of the shoot. We then proceded to set up a Log Bin in which the footage is dropped into. From there we took apart the footage and rejected the footage that we didnt want in the film, and kept the footage that we did want in the film. My team started off with about five minutes of footage, and by the time we had finished editing it we were down to roughly a minute. This helps give you an idea of how much footage we had collected, and how much of it was not actually needed.
All we had to do when editing the footage was first create a log bin, and from there drag individual bits of footage onto the timeline. After we had done that we watched the clip and then pressed the I and O keys to let final cut pro know that we were filtering the footage we did we want from the footage we didnt want. After that you click on modify, then make sub clip and drop the new piece of footage in the bin. Once that is done all you have to do is rename it to wide shot, mid shot etc. Here is a picture of the editing program we used
In tems of organising our shots, it was fairly simple as we had our storyboard sitting in front of us whilst we edited it. So all we had to do is make sure that the footage we had playing on the screen played in the same sequence that the storyboard is presented. The person that the camera mainly focused on was me as we only really ended up with a few close ups and high angle shots of victor. I was the one that was talking and had the majority of screen time, and thus ended up having my sequences edited most as they were the trickiest.

This is the preliminary task
