Preliminary Exercise Editing in Film

-

Editing in a film is the process of putting together shots into a movie or television program to make the director's vision come to life. Film editors are responsible for compiling footage using video editing software and making artistic decisions that have an impact on a film's narrative, therefore editing is both a technical and creative ability. When information is presented to the audience is decided through editing. For dramatic or humorous effects, editors might rearrange sequences and move them forward or backward in time. An editor can purposefully withhold material to help build up a twist ending, or they can intentionally prolong a shot so the audience picks up additional information. 

Pacing is decided by editing. Editors assess pacing scene by scene and in the context of the entire movie. To increase suspense, an editor can, for instance, employ slower, longer shots in a particular scenario. The same movie's editor might opt to delete a whole pointless scene because they think the plot is dragging and it will help the movie's overall pacing.

For our film, the editor was Melanie A. We all decided to add scary sounds to add to the horror theme. We also agreed on what parts to cut or add to the movie. I also added what transitions should be created and what camera shots should be emphasized. The visual editing that we included in the movie was making the tile red with a scary font, our production company logo, and the credits. 

We faced challenges and positives while editing the movie. There was trouble with the sound of the characters being picked up from the loud background music that was added, but it was fixed by toning down the added sounds when the characters were conversing. The positives of editing were smoothly adding transitions to flow though scenes. The sounds that we added heavily help portray the horror genre for our film.
