Audit Bait Tutorial



I learnt how to use the program ‘Final cut pro’. This program will be used for the final editing of our project and to also add a soundtrack to it . At first I found the concept of it quite challenging as the program was new to me and it took me a while to grasp the hang of it but by the end of the lesson I figured it out.

On the left hand side of the picture is the section were the clips we were going to edit were held. To begin cutting a clip you press the 'I' button were you want your clip to begin and the 'O' button were you want it to end. When i finished cutting i would drag it to the canvas were it will automatically be transfered to the timeline.


Into With Camera: Health & Safety Tutorial
We were introduced to the media equipment we are going to be using throughout our project. We were shown on a presentation how to use the equipment accurately and we were given a demonstration. We were also old the price of the camcorder which shocked me which encouraged me to pay even more attention so that then I used it I would not break it! The two batteries given had 2 hours recording time on them each.
We were given a Tripod so that the camera would not be handheld all the time which would have been highly unprofessional for our film. It allowed movement it various directions and it also had extended legs so we could adjust the height. While setting up your tripod you should try to find a flat surface to put it on. If you need to set up on a hill, make sure that you put two of the tripod's legs on the downhill slant. Begin by undoing the locks on the tripod legs and spreading the legs apart. Then, let the legs fall until the tripod is at the desired height for your shoot.
