Final Cut Introduction


On the media flexible day, we have been recording the short 30 seconds clip to the test the blue screen technology and learn how to use the program called Final Cut. We have went to the hall where we have the blue curtains, so the colour of the background is blue to use the blue screen technology. Me and my friend have recorded the short news report from white house just before the alliens blows it up. Now we want to use the program Final Cut to cut out the blue curtain background and replace it with the white house clip where it get blows after 25 seconds.
We would continue working and developing our skills on using this program however the program says that the file format that we have recorded isn't read by the Final Cut. We need to change the format so we can keep working and developing our skills in editing the videos. This will help us in future to do more advanced editing without guide, because we will allready know how to use that kind of programs.
I tried to find with the teacher some kind of program that would change the format, so we can continue working on the video. After some time, Mr Morris found the program, and changed the file format, so we could come back to the Apple Mac's room, and start using Final Cut.



It wasn't easy task because we had to set the intensity of the blue colour so the blue curtains become invisible, in fact me and my friends did good job, however, in the moment when the alliens attack the white house, part of my body becomes invisible as well. However it looks quite and a bit comedic, as i didn't use timing well, and while the explosion happened, i was still reading. However it looked well, and it seems that flames that came burned me.
