Experimental post 14 first edit

Having got the footage we decided to start editing as the second shoot was scheduled for the following week. As we decided to shoot on dslr, due to several reasons including; the quality, we were considering using macro shots, the volatility of tapes, we were putting too much work into a day of filming to get back to find the tape was dodgy or the heads were clogged. We therefore put the footage through mpeg stream clip into apple prores 4444 format, the footage was then imported into FCP utilising skills learnt in the edit workshops; setting the timeline code, unticking dropped frames, adjusting autosave, etc. We created several bins as we had lots of footage with what would turn into several scenes, and renamed all of the clips, sorting them into the relevant bins. We then did a simple rough cut of what we had shot so far, most of the shots looked visually great, though there was the odd clip with poor focus or handheld movements, we also noticed that the image stabiliser in the 100mm ef usm lens worked really well in smoothing out the images whereas the small lens which had no stabiliser gave very shaky images. In doing this edit I did come across a problem, originally the experimental element to this scene was going to be over laying the tree images on the face shots to create emotional fractured veins, however, I didn't contemplate the fact that if the back ground is woods it wouldn't work because you would have woods overlaying woods and the character would be trapped inside, which wasn't what was intended, it would be too over powering and would detract from the visual effect of the face over the woods.
