During the whole process of editing my short film on final cut pro, I had used several editing techniques that I will be discussing. These techniques are what made my short film successful and without them, there will be no sharp and professionalism along with it.
The first editing tool I used when uploading footage to final cut pro is the trimming tool. This is because there are scenes that are either too long or have unecessary bits in them as well as scenes that are perfect with imperfections. Therefore, the trimming tool is always convenient for us to use as well as is a necessity in order to correct and turn footage into content. As you can see in the image above, some of the footage is longer then others and some are shorter, that is because of two reasons, one being they were filmed at different lengths and two some where edited and cropped as it wasn't needed.
A second editing tool I had used is adding voice audios in as of the wind being too loud. This was my downfall as my main character was not in and will not be attending school any time soon which set same back as I cannot record her voice in the short period of time, therefore she has another persons voice over certain scenes that needed to be voiced over. However, I tried my best matching the voice audios along with the footage of Zara (Rebecca) acting. As you can see in the image above, I have added several aspects of voice overs and sound edits in.
A third and forth editing tool I have used is placing a text tool on top of a beam. This allowed my title to be placed as well as having red that represents blood from being a vampire. This was easy and an easy way to add text over an image or video. You simply just pick which type of text and how it transforms on the screen. The forth editing tool that is also in this image is blending the audio. Now as you can see that from having the first audio which is a chicken sound to then having music played, i had blended them both opposite one another so when the chicken sounds stops its not sudden it is faded out and then when the music starts its faded in. This gives my short film a very smooth and successful flow.
Last but not least, we have the overlapping technique I used, This technique is when two videos are playing at once however one aspect is that it is on top and the opacity is helping the faint vision. This helped my short films success as it showed the point of view that everything is fuzzy in her memory and she's in disbelief. I believe this element really allowed and supported my short film to be up lifted.
