Editing The Breakfast Club was a tougher process than I entailed. It took in total a little over 2 hours to complete but I am happy that the remainder of my team were content with the end product as this was my first time. Whilst editing, I was able to experiment with the several special effects on Final Cut Pro e.g. dissolve and fade. From this I discovered the importance of control so did not make the mistake of smothering our remake clip with lots of different effects - although this was tempting.
What I found difficult
Merging all the different film clips together to achieve one fluent movie was what I found most challenging. Due to a lack of knowledge of all the tools available on Final Cut, many times I had accidentally deleted clips, disrupted the audio lines, overlapping became an issue at one stage and this was extremely time consuming.
What I did comfortably
Organising the clips in the correct order to match the original Breakfast Club movie was what I found fairly easy.
How I can improve my editing skills
More opportunities for practice and a wider knowledge of the tools available on Final Cut Pro. I believe these two factors in addition to what I already know would enhance my editing skills dramatically.
