Post 9: Post Production Stage

As a group we decided and organised what days we were free to edit, so that we were able to book the editing suit during a handful of our lunch times, free/study periods and the odd lesson time so that we had enough time to edit our footage appropriately and to a high standard. We set a rota as well so that there was always at least two members of the group editing to help minimize crowding around the edit suit. 

As I have never edited before, I wanted to take charge and be head editor, so that I got a better understanding as i went along and could learn all the new, interesting editing techniques with guidance from my group members. Once we finished capturing and had edited our shots together we locked our video tracks so that we didn't ruin or change our footage when we were adding in our chosen audio tracks and by using the dots sound adjusting tool, we was able to fade the different tracks and fade out unwanted noises easily without having to cut them out which would have lost us valuable footage. 

We have and are going to create and insert a title at the begging and insert credits at the end of our preliminary sequence, adding transitions so that everything runs smoothly into one another and has a finished look about it.

Here are a number of screen shots, of which document sections of our editing.



This shot shows Sally walking down the corridor, (from scene 2) In this screen shot we can see the layout of the editing suit and program adobe premier. In the lower section of the image, it shows the timeline of which we have started to edit and capture different shots and scenes, to form our final short film.

This screen shot shows an over the shoulder view of Paul talking to Sally, This shows the same as the above image, except is at a different point in the footage. Each little section/square in the time line is a different individual shot of which we will slowly put together to create and form each scene then moving on to edit together our short film.



This shot shows a zoom in of the adobe premier timeline of which we are editing our work in. We have put all of our footage in the video 1 row and put the audio for each shot in the Audio 1 row.  The red play line, is used to indicate and show where about, we are watching the footage and used to move around/along the piece, it is a key aspect used in editing and makes it easier to know where in the piece we are also is used to help razor sections of the footage as help get to the exact spot you want.
