Editing Process

We started out opening all our files in Final Cut Pro then sorting them out with different tags and names depending on the quality and if we wanted to use that filming or not. Next we transferred the best footage roughly in order down to the cutting space. Then we started out by doing a rough cut in what order we think would fit best. Then we started little by little putting small pieces together and making sure that the cut after the next cut would relate and fit to the one before so that it got a natural flow and the visual cutting would be minimal.

We started to sort out the sound next so that we only used the sound from the good mic and not the sounds that the camera had recorded. Therefore we had to delete the bad sound copy the good one and pan the one sound to the right and the other sound to the left so that the sound becomes overall and seems to be around you rather than coming from one speaker.
