The EDITING of a media text is its last post-production process, modern
editing is done on software such as AVID and FINAL CUT PRO wherein the editor
puts together the sounds and footage to convey an overall meaning to the
audience.
In the opening of the short drama film ‘Vacuity’(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDbm4hpVs58
) below, the titles slowly fade into the black screen mysteriously and
dramatically, reflecting the drama genre. The colour is silver with a metallic
gradient to resemble metal and connotes action and is sci-fi in appearance with
the rounded lettering and reflection.
The touch screen in this film has been
created through the editing process with CGI. It appears very technical and
sophisticated, to make the audience aware that the film is set in a distant
future where technology has advanced significantly. The editing is made to
interact with the character’s actions, adding a sense of realism for the
audience.
In the short drama film ‘Husky’(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btbsueqSviA)
a Dissolve is used to change scenes. This transition gives the audience a sense
that time is passing in a subtle way as the shot gradually changes, maintaining
the solemn mood of the scene and showing that the man is still alone on the
bench.
Fade in and Fade outs are key for our short film to achieve the dramatic effect intended for the audience, Dissolves as well would help keep the pace during the build-up to a climax.
My group and I began looking into what editing we would use for the post-production of our film. We would be using Adobe Premiere Pro, so we looked at tutorials on Lynda.com and experimented with the effects.
