Prelim Task- Editing

I was extremely excited to start editing the footage that we had shot for our prelim task. The first thing we did was split our group of 6 into two groups and work separately on editing.

We worked on Mac computers and used the software Adobe Premier.

 After downloading our clips, also known as rushes, unto the software we began to thoroughly sift through every single one and created a log bin for the rushes that we were going to use. From here on we began the task of cutting and pasting the rushes to make up a one minute sequence.

One of the most important editing techniques that I learnt was cutting on action; which is a way of preserving continuity and makes the cuts invisible. This technique is also called cutting on motion, and is a useful way of transitioning between shots.

 We included a title sequence at the beginning of the clip. When doing so, we had to make sure that it was long enough to read through. A tip that Matt gave us was that you should be able to read it 3 times over in your head.




Here are some images of the editing process-

I will post the final result very soon!
