During the making of the film, we experimented using final cut pro. We used the original footage of Recurrence which we had already decided was not what we were going to use as the final opening, and so instead uploaded it as a test piece to see what edits would look most effective before we began to edit the actual footage. Due to the fact that we had only used final cut pro in the preliminary task our understanding and hands on practice with the software was not hugely expert. And so by testing our skills on the previous footage we had a real working knowledge of the technology that aided our editing of the final opening of Recurrence. Final cut pro is of professional quality and is what many film makers use when editing their films. The edits do defer from the original storyboard yet that was due to trial and error.
In terms of importing the footage we had little issues and when lining up the shots the main issue was making the parts of the film that lacked continuity link which is where using additive dissolves etc really adds to the value of the film. The main issue we encountered was placing the soundtrack in to the film, the soundtrack was not recognised as an audio file and therefore we had to record the soundtrack on to an unknown MP3 and that was successful we were concerned that the quality of the soundtrack would suffer from this however it was recorded using a very high standard of software and worked well with in the film as we had originally set out to do.
Overall we believe that the editing of Recurrence worked well with in the film and by preparing before hand we were able to work successfully, and benefit from the software itself.
