The Process Of Editing

Insteading of using Adobe Premier which is available within the college, my group and I decided to use Sony Vegas. Sahar is quite experienced with this software so this was a benefit to us as none of us seemed to keen on using Premier. We all edited in any available frees we had at the same time and during Media lessons to make the most of the time we had. Although one group member was the most familiar with the software, we all edited together and made a group effort.

Editing was quite a lengthy process, however we were able to display our creative ideas through it in order to make the best possible trailer we can. To be quite frank, it was a learning process as I didn't know anything at all about the software or about editing. I thought it would be quite tedious but it wasn't.

The crop tool was used to zoom into a shot and focus on a specific object, such as Adeeti's necklace. This was effective as it emphasised on its significance in the film.



We used a night effect for various shots to make the edges dark and the overall shot, which complimented the featured eerie music. It also emphasised on the importance of that scene.



We adjusted the colour balance to lighten and darken scenes. This scene was filmed on a sunny morning, so darkening it was vital.



We used the blur effect to blur a specific part of the shot (by masking it)but leaving the rest as it is.



We did this by blending and overlaying both shots to become one, so it looks as if the necklace is swinging infront of Travoir, and then adjusted the opacity.



To make our trailer look as realistic as possible, we added a rating card at the beginning. We chose a red/restricted as it is not suitable for under 18s.
