Editing 'It's Good To Talk'

Editing was the hardest part of the task,in my opinion. I think the hardest part of the task, was trying to cut the videos at the right time, so they weren't too long or too short and so they didn't jump too much. This was because you need to use the razor tool at the right millisecond, and if we clicked at the wrong second, we would have to cut that section all over again. You could use the Jog tool, where you just slide the mouse aross it and it will alter where the marker is on the video.

From when we started using the Adobe Premier, a new version was made and it made the editing slightly easier, as instead of starting again if you cut out the wrong part, we used something called the 'set in point' and the 'set out point'. This meant that we could just adjust where to start and finish the cutting, rather than start the whole process over again. We also didn't need to keep going back to the same part, as there was a button called 'go to in point' and 'go to out point' or you could play the whole of the part that you've cut, by clicking on 'play in to out point'.

 

I think the easiest part of editing the video was dragging the cut videos into the timeline.  I also thought adding the cut aways were easy, as if you cut the cut away videos too short, no one would notice as they have no audio. Cut aways are vital as they prevent the audience from seeing any jump cuts in the editing. We used relevant cut aways such as people on their mobile phones and up close pictures of social networking sites on the mobile.
