Editing

- Lesson 4 28/01/10 -
In this lesson, my group and I started editing our film to make it look better. We took all of the pieces off the video tape and captured it using Adobe Premier Pro so that we could then edit it. We cut the clips where we needed them so that bad parts aren't on the final film and so that the transitions can be made easily. We spent some time looking at the effects that we could add and we now know what we want to do with the final parts of editing we need to do. We used a variety of cuts to create a tense atmosphere in out piece, using fades and wipes to good effect as Robert and I spoke, and as he walked.

One problem that we encountered was that two of the clips have drastically different lighting compared to the rest of the clips and so looks out of place when the video is played. We tried using different lighting on each clip using effects from Adobe Premier Pro, but in the end they made it look more out of place and so we stuck with a simple spotlight to add a bit of detail to previously blank silhouettes.

Next lesson we shall finish editing and then record some ambient sound and footsteps to make the silent clips busier. We may also re-film the parts with bad lighting.
