Practice makes perfect: Final Cut

As a preliminary task for final cut, I was given a handful of randomised video clips and songs. My task was to put a song or some songs in sync with some of the videos. What I came out with was a video of a shark and a tiger dancing around, and put one of the music clips with it. The music was out of time and didn't always link up, and the clips had large blank parts in-between every couple of seconds; all of these things had to be removed and changed. When I had synced the music to the clip, cut out all black marks, I was then asked to add any extras with my time left such as filters, titles and time-lapses. My final piece includes a title and filter. This task helped me improve and remind me of Final Cut tools as well as begin my insight into music video's as it's a new task for me. I feel this task will help in the long-run as we progress in the creation stages of our music video because it gave us a preliminary insight into the challenging editing side of creation.
