Within my school's media department, the new editing software used is Adobe premier pro. It is a timeline based video editing software application which is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Here is an an example of the software in use.
We were taught how to navigate around the software and to be conscious of our organisation due to the vast amount to footage involved in editing. Rushes are raw pieces of footage, they are called rushes since typically before digital software footage would have to be 'rushed' away overnight to process the film. As rushes are all unique and if they are ever lost they cannot be regained so all rushes have to be duplicated and worked off of the duplicates. In our lesson we were using the footage from our preliminary task, we were taught how to cut footage and how to drag the cut footage to the time line.
When doing this exercise we had to consider continuity. So if there was a wide shot of someone walking through a door and you wanted to follow it with a close up of the feet walking through the door, you would need to make sure in both shot the same leg was in the same place. Also, in the close up you would have to delete the sound so the sound and continue the sound of the wide shot so the sound wouldn't be really disjointed.

Good work here. You had previously blogged what the preliminary task was and which skills were required to film the necessary scenes. This is demonstrated by the use of the storyboard as a visual aide to what your prelim tsk should look like. I feel that you do need to add entries which evaluate the editing of the prelim task and what you achieved. Please post your synopsis and outline for an opening film sequence as requested for prep this week.
