Clone Effect

1. First we start with opening a new project which should be done by pressing: (file/ new project)

2. When we have done that we have to create a scratch disk.

We can do this by clicking on the Final cut menu/ System settings

3. Then we should get a window like this.

4. Now we have to tell the programme where we want our files to be save which is called ''setting up''.

We then click on the button which says 'set' at the top. and we locate the file we want to save. 

We have to remmember to do the same thing for 'waveform cache', 'thumbnail cache' and 'autosave vault' and locate the same file for each one.

5. When we have done this we press 'ok'.

6. Now we are ready to work on our project and save it as we go along.

Intro To Editing ''editing - the invisible art''

Cross-cutting is  the cut between two characters to show their progress in what they are doing and it creates attention.
Reaction shots are used to show the characters reaction towards something and they are often close ups and medium shots of their face.
Seamless editing is when editing techniques are so well put together that they would be un noticeable.
Jump cut is when you cut the unwanted material out of the shot and join it to the next shot, however this transition is not smooth.
flashback is when we travel back in time to show back story of a person or make our audience aware of something that has happened before.
Editing can be used poetically by making the shot more abstract and not literal so that the audience has to work harder to work out whats going on.

Intro To Editing

Editing is the process of selecting and  joining up different shots that will convey a meaning and creates a story. Elliptical editing is a sequence of shots that have continuity, that allows the audience to fill in the gaps. Eliptical editing also saves time. Long shots are used to remind us of the location and the people in the scene. Non-diagetic sound is when music is added at top of the natural sound, the character can't hear it but the viewer can.

The film that we have watched starts with reverse shot of a girl looking for a ring. We know this because the eye line of the character is looking down which means she looking for something. At the end of the sequence she slightly starts to bend down and we cut to the ring on the floor with her hand picking it up.




Overhead establishibg shot shows the space that the action is going to take place and also shows the characters in that particular scene and who is talking to each other.
Shot reverse shot is when we cut between two close ups or medium shot of two people as they are talking to each other to show their communication.
Eye line matching is when the angle of the eye of two characters links together in two different shots.
By watching that particular scene of the hustle we can see cut to the other members of the group to show their reaction towards the decision.
Wipe is a transition that we used in editing to tell our audience that we are in a different time and place.
The idea of using quick cuts is to create pace and keeps the audience's attention and it's also energetic.
