Editing

In the process of editing my rough cut, I have used youtube to guide me with certain tools and techniques in final cut pro, for instance, colour correction.

 Here is a video in which talks about colour correction and how to use the tool.
 I used the 'flop' tool on Final Cut Pro in order to switch the shot around as it broke continuity, also in some shots we had props which shouldnt have been in shot, therefore we cropped the shot.
The shots showing our main character undressing was very lengthy, therefore I used the razor tool in order to cut the clip down and produce an eclipse.
