Second/Final Edit Of Continuity - A Trip To The College

 





The video above is the final edit to our continuity sequence which we completed when we visited the college to use their media facilities. As mentioned in a previous post, I explained that we would be using different editing software's. This software was called Premiere which was on the Apple iMacs at the college. We were able to make the improvements that I said I wanted to do, therefore, the second edit is much more naturalistic as the pauses between the conversation shots are shorter and the shots flow better as there is no time wasted focusing on one thing.


Myself and Caitlin decided to cut the first shot out of our continuity sequence. This was the slow pan from right to left at the very beginning. The main reason for cutting the shot was because we felt it was quite slow and then when we tried to increase the speed it didn't look right, therefore, we decided to cut it and use the second shot as our opening one.


I really liked using this software because the experience and features seemed to be a lot more professional and the programme had a high quality which meant that all our shots were clear and the playback quality of our shots and sequence was very good.


The new software took quite a while to get used to but once we knew our way around it we found editing to be quite easy and I really enjoyed it. It was helpful that one of the tutors at the college gave us a quick tour of the programme and shown us the basics so we knew what to do.
