Editing Overview

13/11/15

This post illustrates some of the editing I have been doing.

Using Premiere Elements at school, this is the interface I have been working with.

This screenshot illustrates the timeline and project video box on the right hand side. It is a lot more comprehensive than other software I have tried at home.

The two preview screens are very useful, they have much better playback than other software. This means cutting on action and sound is much more precise.

One problem with using Elements has been the render time. This has not affected my project in any way, it has just made the time spent editing slightly longer.

Adding a black and white filter on all clips increased the render time even more but it has produced a very impressive looking sequence. The lighting now looks very nice and quite similar to Kassovitz's works. This lighting is also iconic of Film Noir so I am very proud of how it has turned out.
