Final Cut Pro Workshop

Today in lesson we went over Final Cut Pro editing techniques. These editing techniques included colour correction; with the colour mask and shape mask effect we learnt how to manipulate the colour saturation and the exposure of each shot. We learnt how to use the cropping and transform effect. We discovered different transitions and titles. I can use and develop these editing techniques throughout the rest of the course, utilising them during the editing process of 'Paranoia'.

This editing workshop was really helpful because I learnt how to manipulate each shot to portray different moods and different atmospheres. I feel like I can be more creative and this has impacted the way that I think about potential scenes. Most importantly I learnt how to create the eerie suspenseful atmosphere that I wasn't sure how create prior to this lesson. I used my newly learnt skills in the short clip below:
