Post Producion: Editing Main Footage

We have now begun our editing process. To begin we created a rough edit of our main footage by simply, cutting and placing the clips in the right order according to our storyboard. Below is the result of this.


Whilst editing red lines will appear above your sequence, this means you need to render your footage.



To do so, scroll over the 'Sequence' tab at the the top and then click 'Render'



Footage needs to be rendered when it is altered therefore it is usually best if you render after a few steps as otherwise rendering may take quite a while.


A technique I used in some clips was altering the speed to slow it down. This can create a more dramatic and emotional feel. Also if it is cut next to another clip which is much faster, a comparison is made and tension can be created. First of all, scroll over 'Modify' up the top and the click on 'Speed...'.


Next this box will appear, in which you can reduce the speed from 100 percent to a lower number for it to be slower or increase the number for it to become faster. Also here you can reverse a clip by ticking the tick box next to 'Reverse' this can give a disorientating feel if put back to back with the original clip, like we have done in the start of our opening with the trees.
