Editing my preliminary task

Editing the prelim

We used the software ‘Adobe Premier’ to capture the footage onto the computer. This software allows us to edit the footage together. We first watched the whole scene through looking at all the various shots we did from different angles. We strategically chose the ones that worked best and gave us the best effects. As well as this we wanted to conform to the storyboard as well. We made sure we had a variety of shots such as high and low angle, close ups and editing shots such as shot reverse shot. To cut between shots we add dissolve transitions gave us a smooth film. I found it pretty easy to edit once I got the hang of it, and cutting it into sub clips really helped as all I had to do is drag it onto the timeline.

Next time I would definitely try and use more editing techniques. With so many available to use it was a shame that our video is so basic. I would also try work harder on ensuring the clip flows. The places where we cut the shots are fairly obvious which it shouldn’t be.

My personal contribution was playing the different shots, to see which was appropriate for the type of angle we wanted to be displayed. I would then cut the shot and put it in the right position next to the other frames.
