From the research that I have carried out over the past couple of weeks, I now have a better idea of what it means to be an editor, and the jobs that come with being in that role, some of which I did not know about. This has made me a lot more confident in my role. I have thought about how I am going to be able to incorporate the techniques and skills that I have researched into my work, and I have done some test edits for some of the different cuts and effects, and I feel more confident that I can produce a good piece of work.  I have rewatched the two scenes of 'The Wrong Mans'  that my group will be adapting numerous times so that I can have a better idea of what I am going to change in my version, such as maybe different sounds, or changing the colour scheme. Doing this, I hope to create a slightly different atmosphere in the scenes, so will maybe create some different feelings in the audience. This will also give me a better insight about the types of edit that they

There are several steps that an editor needs to take when working on a project, and they need to be taken well so that the work is carried out at the best quality and best ability of the editor. It is always good for an editor to have a good workflow, as this will save so much time and effort in the long run, when carrying out this workflow becomes the standard way that you carry out an edit. Doing this will also cause you less stress inn your production, which can also help your editing, as when you are stressed about it, there may be some things that you miss during the edit. All of this being carried out is what will create a better post-production experience. Through some research into editing workflows, I found that there are 7 steps to the process, which when carried out, check all the boxes of what an editor needs to do.  1. Media Ingestion and Management - Copying your video media from your camera to your computer.  You need to have  an easy to understand, readily searcha

Editing sound can be quite difficult if you are unsure of how to do it effectively. There are some points where you may not be able to make a certain point on the sound track sync up with the video, or have to much background noise that the sound clip seems to be unusable.  As sound hadn't been a key focus of mine in past projects, I bought some better headphones, as my previous pair were not good for sound editing, and I wanted to have the sound in this project better than my previous films. I also felt like I needed to research some techniques that professionals use so that I could edit sound on my current project to the best standard.  I had used BBC Academy before to research various topics, and found them very reliable with the information that they contained, so I decided to try there first, and was not disappointed. Hilary Salmon, who has worked on sound design on numerous well known BBC programmes, offers some tips and tricks that she has learnt in order to capture clea

As I have only edited a few short films before, I felt like I needed to expand my knowledge on editing, so i researched some of the different techniques used, and why they are used to join certain shots together. One website that I found useful was  https://blog.pond5.com/11099-13-creative-editing-techniques-every-video-editor-should-know/ This was because it has numerous examples of cuts, why they are used and also examples of films that they are in. Commonly, some types of cuts are used to signify the passing of time, and this can be done using a cross dissolve,  or it can use the overlapping layers to show multiple stories or scenes happening at once, but shot at different times.  On the other hand, using an extended shot, one which is done in one take, can create different ideas in the audience of what is going to happen. One of the most famous examples of this is the Copacabana scene in 'Goodfellas' . This scene is expertly shot, but the use of it in one take help

The role of an editor is one of the most important roles in the creation of a piece of film, as this is the point which can make or break the quality of the final product. A good editor can turn mediocre footage into a masterpiece, whereas a bad editor can create a mess out of some of the best footage ever shot for film or television. Therefore, when undertaking the role of an editor, you need to have a very clear idea of what you are doing. Despite what people may think, being an editor doesn't mean that you are only part of the project after all of the footage has been shot. The Editor works closely with the director before shooting begins, deciding how to maximise the potential of the screenplay. This is in order to create a mutual image of what the film is going to look like. There would be no point in shooting with the intention of making a comedy if the editor creates a love film from the footage. Editors check the technical standards, as well as the emerging sense of st
