When the programme first opened up this is what we were faced with. The right hand side is where we watch the footage and the finished film, the left hand side is to see the different shots selected. At the bottom is where the song and footage gets cut.
We had our camera attached to the computer and we then imported our footage and the software the put it in the left hand side and it looked like this...
This was good because if we ever needed to re-use footage it would always be there. We also renamed a few clips such as the bar scene. We then had to import our music track. This was easy to do as the track was already on the computer we just dragged it onto the audio section of the editing process.
Once we had our footage and music on, it was time to cut the footage to the music. To do this we had to use different tools. The tool we used most was the selection tool which is the cursor. The magnifine glass is to zoom in which we used a few times.
As you can see there are many tools but the one used most to actually cut the footage was the razor.
To use this tool, we had to move the red line with the blue arrow cursor along to the footage we wanted cut, we then just clicked on the line and it immediatly cut the footage for us. This was quite hard however when we wanted very short shots, like this...
Therefore we had to use this tool to zoom into the footage. It was really convienient to have a tool like this as we have many small shots.
The footage then turned out like this, which made it a lot easier for us to cut at the right points and helped us keep it in time with the music as well.
Furthermore, when we wanted to add effect such as changing the speed or reversing some footage we clicked on the shot, as well as holding the ctrl button down it, then came up with this which let us either increase or decrease the speed of the shot as well as reversing.
