Discussion on Technology (Software) - Jamie

When editing we have decided to use a program called 'Final Cut'. The software is installed on the Macs in the editing suite and is a semi professional program which is relatively easy to use. We chose 'Final Cut' over 'iMovie' which is Apple's own editing software because it is more advanced and gives us a wider scope with editing techniques and creativity. 
  We used the blade tool to cut out sections and trim sections of different clips, we have also added transitions which are already built into 'Final Cut' this makes it easier for us to have access to using transitions. Also 'Final Cut' allows us to easily add in recordings, for example we have used a voice over in our film, therefore this was very helpful.


You can see even from the difference in the two screen shots how basic iMovie is (on the right) compared to Final Cut (on the left)
