1) Find Final Cut Pro HD on the computer.
My suggestion is use HD in the
library because it is on all the macs. Use Find (click on the desktop and the zf) to search for it on the
hard drive.
2) Open Final Cut and set up your
preferences: Easy Setup
DV-NTSC (720X480 / 30fps / 48kHz / 16 bit / stereo); and set the Scratch Disc.
3) Save your project in folder
that you set up as your project Scratch
Disc.
Call it "your name F/Xs."
4) Import the Facial F/X file that we shot in
class. Use only the sounds and images that we recorded
in class in the Class sound f/x
file on the server
(It's in my Public folder on the server
fileserver.artstech.utah.edu/
Artstech_Professors/maxwell/Public)
5) Double click on the file in the Browser to open it in the Viewer.
6) Set In and Out points and
then drag it onto the timeline, repeat as needed.
a) Set up the rhythm visually
as well as with the audio.
b) Use no special visual
effects, just cuts.
c) Multiple layers of Audio
(mixed).
d) Don't forget that the
silences are as important as the
moments with sounds, you need to fill the silent
moments with image (it could just be the background without anyone in
frame) and ambient sound.
