Editing

In my clip, the first part of editing was fairly easy and I enjoyed it, because it was fascinating to be able to put things in order and be creative in making it.
All the effects I added:
Cross-dissolve
Dissolve (dip to white)
Audio fade
I used the dissolves and fades  to demonstrate time passing by, even just a short period of time and also to move from one scene to the next, e.g. the car to the office.
The audio fades I used, e.g. in the cut from the second establishing shot of the car to Jo in the car, were to reduce the sudden change of volume between cuts and to not be such a distraction in sound bridges.
The general editing skills I included were:
Sound bridge
Ellipsis of Time
Continuity Editing
Shot/Reverse Shot
Dissolve
Fade-in
Superimposition
Short Take




However what was difficult was the fact I too much film so I had to shorten more than half the clips.
The clip was originally 4 minutes, but I managed to shorten it to about 2.44 minutes.
It turned out to be more time that I could have used for creating titles, but instead I sat down in lesson and finished it as quickly as I could.
