Evaluation of our Preliminary Task- Editing

In the preliminary task we need to edit a clip that we filmed using Final Cut Express. We needed to show that we could do the 180 degree rule and a matched cut.

180 degree rule
Using Final Cut Express we did encounter a few problems when putting together the 180 degree rule. This is because the two characters diologue overlapped eachother and it was difficult to edit it smoothly with the sound. However, on the whole it was successful but with some minor mistakes with the editing.

Matched Cut
When using Final Cut Express we found it easy to make the Matched Cut and we had a rather smooth take. The difficulty was to make sure we made it look smooth. Therefore we had to get the timings perfectly and I think we did very well in this aspect. 
Other Editing Techniques Used

Whilst editing we thought it would be a good idea to try out some different editing techniques. We added a disolve technique near the beginning when we were struggling to make the cut look smooth. Aswell as this, we added a fade to end the scene to great effect.
