So far the editing is going smoothly and I can tell that I'm feeling much more confident in how to use the software in comparison to my AS project. Things such as knowing when and where to cut and cutting in time with the music seem much stronger in this piece of work. I also feel like I'm less afraid of messing up or making a mistake as I know how to fix things and also how to adapt edits to make what I first thought was a mistake into a possible improvement for the overall piece.
Here are just a few bits and pieces that I have been working on recently.
Trying to action match:
The hardest section of this video to edit so far has been this action match where there is an exchange of drugs between the dealer and Ben. I had to edit it so that their hands exchanged at just the right moment for my to then cut to the close up shot to show the audience what was actually being swapped over.
I'm also fully aware that Elleah is playing the drug dealer here so I've tried to choose shots that show her face the least so it's less obvious to the audience that she is multi rolling.
Here you can see just how I have tried to fit the shots (highlighted in white) to the beats of the music so that they match up and flow better with the song.
I'm just about to start editing the final section of this second narrative installment so I will keep you updated with how that goes.
