Editing Review

This is a review of the editing that we have conducted in order to produce our final product, the two-minute opening for Necro5is. I feel we have made a massive amount of progress in our editing, using lots of different effects and even (what I would call) a professional skill - colour correction. We applied colour correction to almost every single one of our clips in order to make them darker and more fitting to our genre (alongside making them all flow better and not obviously show they were filmed at different times of day (for continuity)).

We used Adobe Premiere Pro as our main software for editing due to the fact it can offer us all of the features that we need to make a good product, like a variety of editing techniques and effects. For example, there is the ability to change the sound on different clips and adjust the levels. This was perfect for us because we needed to constantly change the levels of background music and the little bits of dialogue we had and the sound effects that we used. The majority of our editing took place in just simple cuts but we did use some fade transitions and other effects like black and white distortion and a strobing effect, where a clip is flashed quickly over another. Another editing technique that we used, which was already mentioned, was colour correction that allowed our clips to blend together better. Also, we used text effects to have them interact with a scene, for example changing the motion to have the text appear from behind Princess, or disappear when Basket-Case steps on it.
