Editing Week!

A picture from in between editing lesson!

This week we learnt:

• Trimming 
• Making a timeline 
• How to use basic tools such as razor, drag etc.
• Colour grade 
• Using Effects 

For Trimming we were revised how to properly trim our footage, in order for it to be adjusted onto the timeline and fit perfectly. The timeline was a tricky part as adding extras such as audio, subtitles is a job that requires patience, technique and practice to perfect. We were given an assignment followed by this class to experience it on our own despite having prior experience in As-level.

Using tools such as razor and drag might seem small but having practicing it was emphasised on to get a grasp on them, as it would help us making things easier for our A2 project. The tricky part is colour grading , which is very difficult to manage. We not only got a gist of the colour wheel, but on the colour gradients as well. Learning how to balance the colours and not getting overboard with them.

Lastly we were introduced to using effects as many of us are still not used to using them, we were told what kind of effects can be used to bring a more appeal to the viewer and improve the overall mood of the video.
