Production - Editing part 3

Introduction 

Hello and welcome back to Today’s blog. We will be editing scene three. This blog will be a bit shorter because our third scene contains three long takes, so we won’t have to edit as many clips together and because we’ve gotten more comfortable with the software, plus the fact that the clips are already in order in our bin.

Editing Scene 3

My partner and I got on call again just like we did for our last blog, but this time we had less time to work together since we both had plans that day. We went in order of the storyboard, so we started with the clip of the car leaving the parking lot. This was our only short clip for the scene. Next, we added our first car clip of Emily‘s conversation with Veronica, her mother. This scene also included audio like the car leaving the parking lot did, but it also has background music from the radio and not just dialogue from the characters, so we will be adding in the music next blog. 

Our next clip was also a long take. This clip was of Emily looking out the window and over the shoulder shot where we can see the playground outside that they are passing by, and this shot is followed by another long take of Emily’s face as she watches the other kids play. This concludes the third and last scene, so we now have all our clips together in the timeline, and this was fairly simple to put together since our second clip was already the perfect time because we had started and stopped the dialogue with the film filming in the same amount of time we wanted the clip to be and then some of the other long takes, we only had to shorten a little bit to fit cohesively. That said, only two of the clips in this scene have dialogue, and the other two have no sound, which can be seen in the pictures below that show all four clips on the timeline, and a little white arrow shows where the audio stops. In our other video, it shows all of scene three, but only half has audio as of right now.
