RESEARCH & PRACTICE: Re-editing a Film opening

We had to re-edit some clips that were given to us from the opening of Arlington Road and had to use the clips to make our own version of the opening using final cut pro to do so.

Here are the clips that were given to us once we opened them up onto Final Cut Pro. We then viewed all of the videos and we saw what order it would best look in. We then put the videos in one by one and slowly started editing them so that they would make sense in the order we were placing them in.
In the picture we can see that we then began to put in titles when we were finished which was also quite fun.







We used this button to create the titles and we then put them onto the video by dragging them onto the video and then dropping it but first we would have to make sure they were placed within the lines otherwise they would not show up if they were to be shown somewhere like the cinema. It is very important to follow the rules when editing as it can take a very long time and re-doing something due-to a little mistake could cost a lot of money or waste a lot of time in the real world. 

We then begun putting everything together and into order so that everything would make sense. We decided to put our titles on the corners of the screen as we did not want them to interfere or get in the way of the action. We done this purposely and I think it was perfect as we were still able to concentrate on the action although we saw that the credits were there.



I really enjoyed using Final Cut Pro because of the different skills I got from using it and also because of the fact that it may come to help me in my future life.
