Editing Stages

Here is an example of how we are starting to edit our documentary. We dragged the clips that we cut from our 'Project' and dragged them onto the documentaries time line.

Here we are watching back footage, in order to use the 'razor tool' in order to cut and tighten up the clips, so that the main part that is needed is kept and the wasted part of the footage is deleted, so that our documentary can keep up with its fast pace editing.

Here we have looked at out achieve footage from the film 'Mean Girls' and cut the clip to the parts that we need. Then, to make the exchange of clips smoother, we used the video transition tool 'dissolve" so that the clip changes smoothly and isn't a jump cut. By doing this, we have improved the consistency of the documentary, by eliminating the harsh jump cuts.
