Film Editing

Video

First I started with putting the videos that we recorded in order to the new story board that we hadn't created as we had to change it on location as we did not have our female actor to to medical reasons. so I need to create a storyboard for this video.

As you can see from the image below that I am using Cyberlink PowerDirecrot 10, I used this software as it is essayer to use and better to make movies fast if you need to edit more or one video. 

 

Titles

Next after putting the video recordings in order that is needed for the opening title sequence to make the story make sense and to be in the right order instead of having one scene with a guy tied up and in the next he is free and leaving the room then another scene showing the guy tied up again.

 

After the results of the last video about the titles being let's say crap as they were all different every time a credit was to show up, so that was not a good idea so this time I have kept the same thing throughout the title sequence. Each letter of a credit will come on in it's own time and the letters all disappear either all together or one at a time.

 

With the software I use it is so easy to use as you just need to type the name of the person who you are going to credit and move it to the place that you think it would look good at. The next part to the text edit is to add the effect you want to use when the text first appears and disappears, which is the main part to this opening title sequence as that is what we are getting marked on.

Sound

After putting the titles on the scenes and on the black outs next I needed to put in the music which will make the opening get noticed by the audience as it will create tension and make the audience want to see more as the music builds up anticipation to the main title of the opening sequence.

 

The way I added the sound was first to find a soundtrack that was free from copy right download it then import it in the video, but the sound was too short so I had to put the sound in twice but i had to cut it and attach it to the other one with out making it notice able to the audience who would be watching it, as it wouldn't make the scenes flow that would be showing on the screen at the same time.

 

A problem was to get the music and the video sound to work well with each other as I needed to have the video sound be heard over the music as it is important dialogue to the film. The way I did this that worked was to make the music quieter when there was sound and make the video sound louder to make it work and when it came to the part when there isn't much sound in the video I would mute it and leave the music to be the same volume which worked. The way to make the sound louder or quieter was simple as there was a time line for the music and video sound and on the line you would just have to pull the line down to make it quieter or mute it or pull it up to make it louder. 

 

Effects

The effects was only used at the end of the video to make the word 'SILENTIUM' look like it was on an old T.V screen on static which had the best response by most of the people  who watched the video.

The way I made the static looking effect was by using the effect called 'Wind' that was avaIlable to me on my software that I sued to edit my video. The way to edit into the video was by simply dragging and dropping it on the effect time line, it had to be below the scene that I wanted that to be on as you can see from the image below.
