Editing the footage for the Preliminary Task
After filming, we edited the footage in order to put all the clips together by carrying out editing such as: adding effects, trimming the clips, adjusting the sound levels, adding sound effects and adding non-diegetic sound where appropriate. We also added straight cuts and transitions to make the final footage look as professional and sleek as possible.
This was my first attempt at editing, and so one of the problems that I had to over come first, was actually working out how to use the editing software. I did this by getting help and advice from the teacher, as well as fellow students who were familiar with the editing process. Learning to edit for the preliminary task will hopefully make the final task much more straight forward
.
I found editing the sound levels the hardest, as finding how to fade sound in and out, without making it sound un natural was actually a lot harder than expected however I soon managed to work out the best ways to edit this aspect. As well as this, we found that some of the footage was slightly blurred, and so naturally this had to be deleted. Also, some of the footage wasn't continuous which posed as a slight problem, however this was easily solved by using the 'trim' tool on Adobe Pro. This however acted as a lesson for the final task, as we would need to gather more footage and repeat scenes twice in order to get successful and continuous shots to make the narrative flow.
