How to do J edits in Final Cut

When making news packages it is very helpful to include many different edits to make the story more interesting for the viewers. This can be done in many ways, but i will show you the J edit. On the first picture the clip number 86 is the sound bite from the interview that i want to overlap the b-roll to make this cut possible.  The first step is to take the green audio bar on the left and shorten it down as shown in picture 2. Then you take the audio from clip 86 and match it up where the old audio on the left used to be in order to keep it flowing. The last step is to take the far left side of the interview (86) and cut it down by sliding the mouse to the right and matching the end of the audio with the end of the interview. This helps make a package more interesting and able to flow better by using edits rather than having jump cuts.

The six shot sequence started with using the camera and the tripod to film all shots. At first I did the close up with the hands just to show how the story would begin. While I was editing the video I used a lot of the in and out tools to be able to show where I wanted my shots to end and beginning. I showed the start of the shot all the way up to the end of the shot. I learned about how to use both of the different tripods and also I learned how to customize the speed for the video.   The whole video was based off of my partner’s hobby. I tried to show different aspects, good, and bad of skateboarding.   A tool that was very helpful to me was the fade out tool. It helped slow down the video and show how it came to an end. I did learn a lot more about the camera and tripod throughout the scenes.

Professional article review Creative Anarchy at Its Very Best Creative anarchy is about using the rules as guidelines and using your imagination to make up for the rest. This article is reassurance that it is okay to color outside of the lines in graphic design (not literally). Taking risks is what graphic design is all about. When it comes to completing the client’s needs, you have to meet them halfway. Finding that happy spot where both the clients ideas and the designers creativity meet is what makes a good design.   The author of this story is trying to get the fact across that not all designs must be so limited. As a designer, you have to be okay with the concept of your mind to new ideas and creative details will open up a whole new world for your graphic design.   For example, the author say’s “Design rules are more like guidelines.”   This quote shows us that the author literally means that rules aren’t always followed in graphic design and its not always necessary.

http://www.kctv5.com/clip/13695506/kansas-city-natives-remain-stranded-in-florida-due-to-hurricane-irma In this news story, the reporter did a good job of getting many people involved to create a full story and show the effect of irma on everyone through Kansas City natives. They showed a lot of "B-roll" through the videos that the people they were video-chatting with sent in. I thought that even though it was hard for them to get good B-roll, they made it work with the footage they got and it was still able give the viewers a lot of information about what is going on. I think the reporter coulee used more footage from the actual hurricane instead of just the interviews that the people sent in, but at the same time it helped make it more personal. I think a little back story coulee been helpful to start off the story. I will take away from this story how important it is to get multiple interviews and also I learned the creative ways to get b-roll that I hadn'
