Fifth Day at Complete Post

Most of the time today, I am watching Chris doing the editing...since I havent really used final cut pro b4, so watching him is a good change for me to understand the nameing and the work flow of editing.

he showed me a couple of shortcuts every time we come across some important ones, he was very patient when showing me stuffs!!

here is the work flow in editing this project:

- drop all the shots into a bin and correct naming, referencing what section it is and what version of edit it is.

- then, chking the layout from the book of that specific section.

- V1 left screen ( A1, A2)
V2 right screen ( A3, A4)
- select all the shots, + 12 moving all the shots to the right!
- M market, add at the beginning of every edit.

- lock the other levels while editing

- shift delete, delete a shot and move the rest to the cut poiny

- just delete, delete that specific shot and leaving the space of that shot's duration~

I asked him how to do sliding and extending a shot, but he forgot and he said that he will get back to me later on with another editor SONIA COOK.

At 5:00pm, i finally get a chance to try actually editing one section as tomorrow, I am going to start cutting it myself, so I can get some practice and that Chris can show me what I have done wrong and stuff ....... It should be alright basically, mark in , mark out, and cut.....

but i guess the most important thing of cutting the interview is that I have to really listen to the interview's content and make decision of what's in and what's out. It's a bit hard for me as English is my second language so it might be a bit slower for me to understand. Especially when I am cutting people with really strong accent, I cant really understand.....oh GOD!

Really looking forward for tomorrow!!
