Shot by Shot Remake: Editing process

Editing Stills

Once we had filmed our remake we edited our footage for it to make sense and to follow the sequence accordingly. We used Final Cut on the mac pc's to do so. 

Final Cut is a very good tool in the editing process. There are two integrated screens to space things out and technology to get the best outcome as possible. The screen is slit into three parts, at the bottom is where the clips are put into order and placed where sound can be added onto afterwards, the top left hand side shows the clip in edit and the top right hand side shows the outcome of the clip just edited.

To get the clip to start and cut at the right moment the buttons I and O are pressed to do do, I standing for In and O standing for Out. These buttons made out clips flow better without any bloopers in the beginning and ending of the clips we filmed. 

When editing we had to consider the order of the filmed clips and the movement of speed and at the end we added the actual sound of the cilip on top of our to make it sound like the movie clip itself. To do this we found the clip on you tube and converted the file to an mp3 so it was able to copy onto Final Cut, placing it on the bottom part of the screen to place it at the right parts only leaving the sound of the bag dropping as original sound. 

Here are some stills that show the editing process.

These stills shows how we were trying to make the first clip we filmed to be slowed down in duration as the time in the movie is much more slowed and calm. To do this we clicked modify, then to the duration and always used around 4/5 seconds, this took several times to complete but once we did it, we managed to do the same for the other clips needed. The stills show us trying to place our clips in chronological order and trying to add effects of smooth transitions onto the next scene.
