My Preliminary

TaskAbdullahi Mohammed

Why I did the preliminary

task.• By doing the preliminary task it enabled me to become familiar

with final cut pro.• I was able to learn new skills as previously I did not know how

to use it.• If in the future our group editor isn’t present I may be able to

take over and meet the deadline.• By doing the preliminary task it be gave me a brief idea of how

it works in the real industry as an editor is need to make a good film successful & to create the meaning intended.

• I was able to use a range of camera angles to create my scenes such as behind the shoulder shot, point of view shot & medium close up.

• I was also able to add soundtracks into the scenes & by using the blade tool I was able to remove unwanted scenes. This made the moving image run smoother.

I learnt how to use the blade tool as you can see, it allowed me to cut scenes that weren't

needed. By using the blade tool it allowed me to make the scene more edgy & give that

dramatic effect.

In this shot am applying ‘Earthquake effect’ to all my scenes. This made the

scenes shake without removing any parts. It gave the scenes a dramatic

effect, after watching it a couple times you would realise this wasn’t done by

using the camera but by editing it.

In this shot, I’m adding the non – diegetic sound to the scenes for example the

heartbeat, to create the effect that student is late and creates an atmosphere to the audience

that something might happen. I also have added breathing in & out sound effect to link

with the point of view shout, to show the audience that he is tired and exhausted.

In this shot, I’m applying credits to the end of the of my short moving image.

As every moving image has credits to show the audience who edited it, who

directed it & who produced it. As some people may watch videos depending

on who the director is or how successful he is.
