🎩EDITING TRICKS🎩

Hey bloggers,

    Editing our project has been quite time consuming to say the least. Before we started our process of editing, we knew that it was going to be a challenge. We thankfully had Antwan edit who has already had prior experience in editing, but Gallarde and I still had our fingerprints involved. We wanted our project to come out a specific way, in which our editing had to be top tier. While discussing how to edit it, we discovered some tricks...

    A valuable trick we learned during this process was to start with a plan. Going into editing without having a foundation is like a headless chicken looking for food. It's important to develop a rough draft or outline when doing things like this. That's why a storyboard is so important in the editing process. You can organize your clips on paper or computer so when the editing comes around, all you have to do is look at your storyboard and organize it as such. You can also put the transitions and shots on the storyboard.

    Another trick I gained an understanding of was to focus on the continuity of your film. It's crucial to pay attention to it so your film runs smoothly. It includes maintaining consistent eyelines, ensuring the passage of time is crystal clear to the audience, and matching action continuity between shots. This step is CRITICAL to the development of your story.
