Editing process

We started off with a blank document to start this off, we uploaded all the clips from the camera by connecting it to the computer.















First of all we selected all the right clips and good shots that were to be included and layered them into the right order. This step was quite easy due to the storyboard we created beforehand which includes the order of the shots and the timing of each shot.

After this I added the necessary sounds that clearly portrays the genre. We got these from non copyrighted Youtube videos. This was quite easy as the majority of them were already planned beforehand and the others took a bit of discussion and trial and error to see if it suited it well, but was quite easy due to the wide range available.

I then added in the credits, for this we added in a black background that had an opposite fade from the middle so the writing would look better and stand out. The fade also makes it look more professional than just a standard black background. We also added an effect to the text in order to make it flash in a way that makes it look like it had been overcome by paranormal activity.

To get this effect I added the Timecode effect which gives the bar in the bottom right, this gives this camera a realistic feel to it. I also played around with the different toggles on the TV simulator tool to eventually get this effect which also adds to the realistic feel to it.

On this glitch effect which was added throughout the editing on a number of different things, I made it transparent by using the displacement map video effect which meant gave the video a horror look to it and clearly portrayed the genre.

This is how the final interface looked. This production really helped me understand how to layer clips and the importance of sounds in production as before the sound was added it seemed completely different.
