Pre-lim; Post production

Post production

During the post-production we cut the footage we had taken during production. Where we had recorded extra footage at the start and end of the action we had to cut each clip till the time where we wanted that action to start and end at. When we cut the end of the action we had edit the clip so that it would smoothly run into the next clip.  We did this in chronological order so that we knew how the clip before would end and how we could start off the next one. Using this we were able to cut the start of each of the following clips so that it flows with the ending of the previous one. As we did this we added each edited clip on to the video creator splice. Using this app we were able to add each clip on the end of the others, this way we could see how smooth our cuts were. When we weren’t satisfied we would go back to our edited clips and make changes according to what we had seen in splice. This allowed us to make any changes to things that we weren’t happy with and smooth out our edits and allow the interchanging transitions to flow. Once we were happy with our little clip we would add the next clip on the end and repeat the same process of viewing the transitions reediting the clip and then replacing it with the one we hadn’t edited. As we moved further through the footage we asked others opinions on our edited prelim and took a mental note on the areas we needed to smooth out. After a while it became a repetitive process of watching and reediting clip after clip in attempt to get a smooth final piece. Once we had completed our prelim footage, we went back to the people we had asked previously for their opinions on the final clip and again made any final changes that we needed to until we were happy with what we had.

In our opinion if we were to reshoot and edit we would have experimented with more shots and angles so that we had extra footage to mess around with and give us a smooth flowing prelim.
