Editing to the beat.

After not using Final Cut Express for some time, we needed to refresh our minds on how it worked in advance to doing our preliminary task. We were given a song, and some clips of people dancing, and were told to edit the first 30 seconds of a music video. We were given one lesson to do this. It worked well, reminding us again of how to use the programme. The main objective of this task was to learn to edit to the beat, something we were going to have to perfect to make a full music video. Here is a sample of some of the work i attempted to do...

We completed this task using Final Cut Express, and had to place the music and clips of film onto the timeline and had to cut and rearrange the clips in order for them to match the music.
