Multiple Views Project - Action Scene - Part 1

In this exercise you will take multiple shots of the same action but from different views and angles. You will then edit these shots into one seamless action shot. The use of multiple shot angles is a more advanced editing technique. FCP has provided tools to deal with such advanced editing.

Specs

1. A title - Multiple Views Project - Single Camera
2. First action sequence shot with one camera - seamlessly edited - action should flow smoothly
   
   Intro Action - two different views
   Main Action - four different views
   Closing Action - two different views
   
3. Closing credits.
4. Each project must have music that adds to the suspense of the scene. The music should be edited so it is in beat with the movie. The selected music cannot violate any school policies.
5. Add sound effects to enhance the action of the scene.
