Cropping

A couple of the shots we took unfortunately had a few things within the shot that we did not want to be there such as the edges of the green screen or the window shining through the green screen. To get rid of these we needed to crop some of our shots. However, we did not know how to do this, so instead of just asking our teacher, I went on Youtube and typed in 'cropping on final cut express' and it gave results of tutorials that people  could follow and learn.

I used a short tutorial and used some of the footage we had shot to practise on. The outcomes were great and I was able to get rid of the things that were unwanted.
Once I had watched the tutorial, it was actually very easy, all I had to do was click on the crop button and then resize the footage.



This is the outcome of the footage. The picture on the left is before it was cropped with the light from the window coming through the green screen, and the picture on the right is the same picture but with the window light cropped out.
