Progress




As this was our first time using the green screen, we had to experiment. We chose a picture from Google and, with the help of a YouTube tutorial, learnt how to add the picture onto the green screen. After this, through a process of trial and error, we resized George and moved the background around until we found the best and most successful fit. 
The overall editing of the video is a very time consuming task as you have to be very precise and due to the complexity of the programme itself, it takes a long time to learn how the software works. After understanding the initial steps, we went about cutting our shots using the razor blade tool. Having to edit the shots in time with the music proved to be quite difficult to get the timing right and the having to constantly render the video itself is causing to be another time wasting task. But so far, we have edited over half our video and feel as though we have grasped the essential concept and workings of Final Cut  Express.
