Hello Everyone!
Should you ever need to use a youtube clip, there are online converters that can transform youtube videos into .mov files.
This is one of them that I have used: http://www.catchyoutube.com/
Just paste the URL into the box, select the format you want (if you are going to edit with final cut pro, .mov is the best one) and then click in "convert and download".
It usually works, but it takes a little while to convert, so be patient.

Try having your interview subject standing somewhere instead of sitting down..... more

JUMP CUTS
filmmaker talks about why he is using jump cuts in his piece
What is a jump cut? It is an edit made in film or video that is discontinuous from the action. With a jump cut, a jump in time is made from one frame to another without trying to hide it. Jump cuts are often used in interviews, for some films.
