Technical audit of Bait tutorial

We experimented with the editing software 'Bait' We will be using this software to edit our thriller opening. This tutorial allowed us to explore this software, which will make it easier for us when we have to edit our footage for our thriller opening. We were given several different clips, our task was to make a sequence that made sense and runs smoothly.

On the screen of the MACS there was two windows, the window on the left allowed you to cut the clips and the window on the right allowed you to watch your sequence. Under the two windows there was a time line which allowed you to see the duration of your footage, you could also edit the footage by adding different clips and using sound effects.

In this tutorial we learnt several things; 'Input' and 'output', this allows you to chose what section of the clips you wanted to use to put n your final clip. To do this you had to tap 'I' at the beginning of the part you wanted and an 'O' at the end of it. You are then able do drag this clip to the time like and add other clips to create a sequence. This allowed you to get rid of any footage that you don't want to include in your film. Another tool we used was the 'Razor' this tool allowed you to cut a clip in half and insert another clip. This tools can help you create tension in you footage as you are able to cut from one thing to another than go back to the previous clip.

Overall i found this tutorial informative. It gave me a chance to experiment with the software and become confident with it , so when I have to edit my sequence i will be prepared. This tutorial has also prepared
me for any difficulties that may arise while I am editing my sequence.
