Task 10: Editing

We will begin editing by sorting through our clips and selecting the best ones for use, we will log this down on our time in/time out sheet.
We will then put all our clips onto the computer and used Final Cut Pro to edit and use transitions to make the seqeuence look realistic.
We will then put our music onto the computer and import it onto Final Cut Pro.
The music we have chosen to use is an instrumental version of Rihanna's Russian Roulette.
