When we had to edit our product, we first had to capture it onto a Mac. We did this by keeping the tape in the camera and setting the camera to VCR mode. We then had to connect the camera and mac by using the firewire cable. After that we opened up Final cut pro, selected file and capture. When we got all of our footage we started the editing process, which was quite lenthy. We started off by editing the first few seconds of our opening sequence, which included an establishing shot, and the main character walking into the cafe and setling down. To get a particular sequence we wanted, we had to double click on the file and set in and out points and then drag it in the timeline or else the whole entire sequence will be dragged and it will be a nightmare to edit. When we were satisfied with the edited product, we then had to add in extra thigns like music and text. Throughout the editing process, we modified a lot of things. For example, we re-shot a few scenes to improve them and then we had to edit it again for continuity.
