Production: editing

In this blog post I will be showing my process of editing. I have a few steps I need to complete, like merging each clip together, adding in the lower thirds, and fixing the sound.

As I was merging the clips together I didn't notice I went over the 2 minutes. So, I had to shorten certain clips which was totally fine. However, this ended up messing with my sound because the audio did not line up anymore towards the end. You can see in the following screenshot of my Premiere Pro setup I lack sound for half of my film opening. To fix this I will have to go to each clip individually on the project board to add sound back in.




I finally finished adding in all tge clip with the corresponding sounds, now I want to add one sound effect and a voiceover voice. To add my sound effect I went to Youtube to search up for a vintage camera sound effect and screen recorded them to add to my project. Disclaimer, this is a copyright free sound, as is any sound added to my project will be copyright free. In the following screenshot, you can see the screen recording, and since Premiere Pro allows the option to add sound only, I cropped where I wanted the sound and added it in.


Here is the video I used for sound effects:


Here is my film opening with the sound effect:





My next step is lower thirds, in the beginning of the year when I learned how to add these to a project I struggled a lot so this process may take a bit. Because, this is such a crucial part of my film opening I may look up how to do certain things like coloring the background of the text, I struggled with this the most. Also, in a previous blog post of titles I made a list of what I would use in my film opening. Here is that list:


Last step for my editing process is lower thirds! Take a look at what I have done:



After adding in the text to my desired places, I didn't like the fact that it would just pop up. So, by using the opacity tool I dragged an "animated" look onto each title. The following video shows how this was done:
