Unit 9 Digital Editing learning aim C: Edit a moving image part 1

I viewed the rushes of footage in order to see what needs to be edited. They were inside the resources folder  for the L2 media students. I now intend to import these clips for the edit brief. If I didn't view the rushes I wouldn't know what clips are good or bad. Or even what type of camera angle they're filmed in. This is the beginning of the editing process.

 TARGET DEADLINES:

Preparation work: 11th December 1:40p.m
Rough Cut: 14th December 12:10p.m
Final deadline: 18th December 10:00a.m

All of the rushes have been imported into Final Cut. While I could have just highlighted each clip for the import, I chose to use the cmd+A keyboard command. By using this command for the mac I was able to spend more of my time editing because this was only one of the few times I got to complete this before the due date. So time is very important. 

However, before the process of importing and drafting began. I had a brief with our costumer about what they wanted me to create, they wanted a video guide of continuity editing for the BFI (British film institute). The deadlines were discussed, and I was given a piece  of paper with all the information  After receiving this paper I highlighted all the important info in order to remember what this video had to include.

After all the good rushes have been chosen for edit. I have begun to log each different scene to different folders,( I.E scene 1, take 1) that would help me when I begin the editing of all the footage. By logging the different scene and takes into different folders, when I got back to the project I found them all in the order needed with great ease. If I didn't have these folders I would have to spend time in the next editing session to order them, witch would have cost me time I don't really have.
