BJ: Post Production

This week I have been focusing on taking a lead role in the editing process. This included adding sound and getting all of our clips in the right order on the timeline. After we had done this, we created a new project to experiment with the flashback scenes. In this part I edited a couple of scenes however Ollie then took a lead role and edited a sequence himself.

After finishing the flashbacks we exported it and then uploaded it to our other project and put it on the timeline where we wanted it. It then took some time to figure out where the flashbacks would fit in best, however we found a spot and stuck with it.

We decided to have the dialogue from the interrogation carrying on over the top of the flashbacks. I did this by moving the flashbacks over the top of the clip which dialogue we wanted to use on the timeline. This meant that the flashback scene would show, however the sound from the other clip overlayed it.

I have also had to do a lot of minor colour adjustments. By this I mean I had to adjust the brightness and contrast of the shots, because some had shelving in the background. By adjusting the contrast, it darkened the background meaning that you could not see the shelving anymore.
