Final Edit...




I was involved in a short 5 minute film produced by our team, and edited by me and co-students Tom Anderson and Ben Hale  >>>





Me and Tom spent several hours discussing ideas and then proceeded to incorporate them into the final edit. We also used stock footage we had sourced and uncredited free music and sound FX which we included in the short in post-production.

In order to produce this short we used Final Cut Pro, drag and dropped the raw files into Final Cut Pro. Once the files were transferred and copied we reviewed the clips and then marked in and out points in chronological order, as we did edit in camera. This was a long process as we had to switch from one camera to another, we often had to re-arrange the clips, to make the film's narrative flow more naturally. After our timeline of footage was placed and complete, we began splicing in short slugs and stock footage for the 'drug scene'. After we had achieved this we added music beds and sound effects that we believed complimented the film's mis-en-scene. We then added credits and applied video filters to various scenes we believed needed distorting.

Me and Tom especially found it exciting editing both the sound and footage in the 'chase scene' and the 'final scene'.  It was most definitely a team effort, Ben also helped edit the introduction and also created graphics for the short.
