Editing The Final Draft.

Tuesday 20th April 2010
When editing today we inserted the newly recorded clips after capturing them on the capture feature, on our editing software, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. These clips were the re-filmed shot of Character B; walking down the graveyard pathway, and the audio for his speaking part. Also the new clips of Character A; a close up of texting on the phone and also the view of Character A through the bushes and trees behind her. All of these clips were trimmed down to where we needed them to be. The shot and audio of Character B were placed into the sequence as were the ones and Character A. The shot of Character B walking was a little dull compared to the rest as the sun went behind the clouds slightly when filming. To overcome this I increased the brightness and contrast on the clip and also placed some lighting effects onto it to replicate the sunlight. Another clip that needed further editing was the shot of Character A texting; when on effect controls I added lighting effects, put up the contrast a little bit, moved the shot up and stretched it to fit the screen so you could see the phone more clearly and it got rid of the slight camera reflection also so what she had written on the text would be clearer.

When editing today we only had to adjust audio in the close up of texting clip; the background noise on it wasn’t very good to sort this out previously recorded audio from another clip was layered over the original audio so it sounded better and fit in with the rest of the footage. Next we had to render the file and export it as an .avi file using the same editing software and this took the rest of the lesson and so we exported the file to YouTube later on.
