Preliminary Task - Editing

Editing the Preliminary Task

In our groups, we split up into pairs, and whilst two of us started editing, the other two were searching for appropriate sounds to add to the piece, then we switched. Generally, we found the editing rather easy, however trying to sort the clips out to stick to the rule of continuity was quite time consuming. It also took us a while to sort the sound clips out and work out how to edit the volume on the editing programme. Once we added the sound to our piece, it made the piece seem much better and to a more professional standard. We also added titles to our preliminary task, as we thought this would be good practise for when we come to making our thriller title sequences. We played around with the different ways the titles could come on and off screen.

I feel that the preliminary task has helped me vastly in preparing for the thriller titles sequence as I now have a greater understanding of the editing programme e.g editing the sound, moving titles etc.
