Positives:

When I was editing the conversation on the bench I thought a positive was the way I cut between the two character, even when only one character was speaking-it made it feel more natural.

Negatives:

I think shot selection was good considering the weak, discontinuous footage I ended up taking, the thing that I quickly realised is that a second is a long time and if the conversation missed a couple of beats it really stands out (which it did).

I realised that editing is like doing a riddle, if I moved or got rid of one shot, if would effect the following shot as well as many others, there are never ending possibilities. One scene out of place can effect every other inclusion on the “table”.

My sound was terrible, in order to get continuity I had to turn the gain up on the first shot, just so it matched he other ones.

Questions

I don’t know how to lower/rise the volume of each audio track.

Editing Colour? Colour grading? I think that’s what it was called-I haven’t done any of this yet, so its something for me to look at, and work towards.

– I wanted to do sick as credits, but I don’t know how too. Something to work towards.

Answers

-I worked out the best way to export (after really struggling earlier this semester). The best thing to do is, where it says Format make that H264 and in Preset 1080p HD 29.9

-The importance of recording atmosphere. There were too many times I had holes in my audio track, but I had nothing to fill them with.
