Prelim Post Production

Firs we uploaded the video to the Final Cut Server, from which we accessed an Edit Proxy (digital copy) of the raw footage which we then opened in Final Cut Pro to begin the editing / post production process.

Then we selected the shots we wanted to use and logged them. Logging is the process where the editor chooses the best takes and transferes them into the "Log-Bin". Then we cutted the material we tried to make the cuts not obvious, that is called Continuity Editing.

Continuity editing is an invisible style of editing in narrative film and television. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical relationship between shots.
Basically, to ensure that the selected shots are put together in an order that makes sense to the audience – so that they can follow the story as clearly as possible.
In most films, cutting to continuity is, which increases smooth transition of time and space. However, some films incorporate cutting to continuity into a more complex classical cutting technique, one which also tries to show psychological continuity of shots. The montage technique relies on symbolic association of ideas between shots rather than association of simple physical action for its continuity.

Continuity editing can be divided into two categories: temporal continuity and spatial continuity – literally TIME and SPACE.
The important ways to preserve temporal continuity are avoiding the ellipsis(an apparent break in natural time) , using continuous Diegetic sound, and utilizing the match on action technique.
It would also be necessary to shoot the whole film in one take in order to keep from having to edit together different shots, causing the viewer's temporal disorientation.
Digetic sounds are noises that are naturally in a movie (e.g. doors, cars). Continuous diegetic sound helps to smooth temporally questionable cuts by overlapping the shots (SOUND BRIDGES, connect frames).

Match on action for example is, a shot of someone throwing a ball can be edited to show two different views, while maintaining temporal continuity by being sure that the second shot shows the arm of the subject in the same stage of its motion as it was left when cutting from the first shot.

Disolve or a fade is an smooth cut where the first frames fades out and is over layed with an other picture that fades in.

Cross-cutting is a technique which conveys an undeniable spatial discontinuity. It can be achieved by cutting back and forth between shots of spatially unrelated places.

Jump Cut
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly.
Recently the jump cut has been used in films like Snatch, from Guy Ritchie, and Run Lola Run, from Tom Tykwer.
