172 Refining Edit Points Preparing Your Sequence As you continue to refine your rough cut, you may want to set up your sequence a little differently and use markers to identify areas that need adjusting. The footage you will be working with in this lesson is from Leverage, but rather than refine a scene, you will refine a promo for the show. 1 Choose File > Open, or press Command-O, and then open Lessons > Lesson 5 Project. Close any other open projects. In the Timeline, play the Promo_v2 Polished sequence. This sequence is cut together from several clips used in "The Second David" episode. The purpose of the Leverage promo, like any other promotional material, is to create interest in the show and perhaps evoke a sense of intrigue. Joseph LoDuca's music and the editor's quick cuts help to achieve this effect. To practice using the trimming tools, you will work on a rougher sequence; it's the right length, but it needs polishing to capture the best portions of the actors' movements. 2 NOTE In the first half of this promo, you'll see the Leverage characters scheming individually and bumping into each other in the process. In the second half, you will see the results of Nathan's organizational efforts as the individuals work as an effi- cient, synchronized unit.
