This editing session took place on the 4th February and was our final day of editing. Our aim for this session was to add the faster paced music into the gaps we had left in the previous editing session. so we didn't need to waste any time moving things around.
I originally gathered some faster paced music that we could potentially use in our trailer for the action sequence, on Tuesday, however the external hard drive that I saved the music on was not compatible or readable by the Macs or the school PC's, which meant we could not access the music on it to import to Final Cut Pro X. This meant that we would have to come back another time, and Sam provided me with his memory stick to save the music on ,as mine was broken and we knew that his USB stick worked with the Macs.
Successfully, I brought the memory stick in with all the music I thought to be suitable saved on in and I started off the session by importing all of the music to Final Cut Pro X so we could listen to each one and experiment to see which fit the action sequence best. After listening to all the music we came to a decision between two of them that both suited the trailer in some way. They each focused on drums, which is what we wanted to build up the liveliness of the trailer and the action that takes place, however the second song that we looked at turned out to be a bit overpowering and intense for the amount of action that occurs and so we decided to go with our first choice, which suited our trailer even better as it started parallel to the action.
As were about to finish off and put the trailer onto YouTube Sam noticed that the end transition wasn't as subtle or smooth as it could be, and decided to place a jump cut to black, with the boom sound effect we had previously used to signify the end of the action sequence. Once this was done and we watched the trailer from start to finish for a final time, we saved it to the Mac desktop , which allowed us then to upload it to YouTube.
