Final cut Pro: Editing

When we finished filming Broken Alliance, we transferred the clips from the memory card to our video drive, then we imported them into Final cut pro. Firstly we had to sort through all of our clips to find out which ones we would use. Then, using our storyboard as a guideline, the clips were cut and put into order on the timeline. Even though we got all the shots from the storyboard from when we filmed, we didn't follow the storyboard exactly because we wanted our film to flow in the best way and some of the shots didn't go together well. When the clips were laid down onto the timeline, we then had to cut some of them to make sure they ran into each other smoothly. For example, in the scene of the beggar on the bridge, we used a match cut to show the device being dropped into the cup. At the end of the sequence we used the fade out effect to establish it was the end, we also faded into each title and out of each title in the sequence.
