To edit the promo I am using final cut pro and after effects. It is a lot easier and faster to edit the video as opposed to last year when I was editing my thriller ‘Angeldust’ because we used an Mpeg 2 SD NXCAM which has a hard disk, this made editing easier because each take is captured on a separate file. Editing time was reduced, bins easier to manage and extended footage easier to handle. Once I had uploaded the footage I sorted the shots out into performance and context shots then I split both of those bins up into good shots, bad shots and good part shots. This was so we could go straight to the best shots without trawling through the others. Some of the bin titles included performance shots, context shots, good shots, bad shots, good part shots, head shots, wide shots, puddle shots and so on.
Once we had sorted all of the shots out I imported the sound track ‘What we See’ and placed it onto the time line so I could start editing to the track. We had a slight problem the first time we tried to upload the song because it turned out that its current format wasn’t compatible with final cut pro. So we are going to take the track and try and convert it into a WAP file instead of a WAV file in order for it to work on the editing software. Once we have corrected the sound file I’ll start be placing markers on the timeline where the significant beats are so I can edit to the beat.
