Editing Brief

we were given two sets of editing tutorials, the 1^st using final cut to piece together the shots, and the other using soundtrack pro, to put music and effects to the finished film.

For the film-editing tutorial we were given a collection of different shots. We then had to piece them together to create the full scene.  We learned to cut from one shot to another, how to fade shots a together using effect such as dissolves and others like it. The task was alright to begin with but after a while it was hard to keep the continuity going, we had to cut all the shots down to try and make it link together easily.

For the sound editing tutorial we were given a scene from Casino Royale, the sound had been removed and we were given a list of all the sounds that should be on the scene. This was a lot harder then the film tutorial. With this you had to select the right sound from a cache of similar ones. It was extremely hard to get the sounds in sync with the scene, like matching  up the footsteps.
