This week, we began editing our news broadcast scene using the clips that we shot at Savannas Neighborhood Park. We reviewed all of the takes that we shot, choosing the ones that look and sound the best. Once we had done that, we organized them so that they would be like a real news broadcast. We also trimmed them so that they do not have extra time at the beginning or end, making them look more polished. It was nice to see how the project is coming together, as it is starting to look like an actual movie instead of just random clips.
As we edited our video, we realized that there are some areas that we could still improve on. One major thing that we noticed is that we could still work on our voice overs and audio quality, considering there was a small taste of wind for about 1 second, which could interrupt sound quality aspects for Cambridge. There are some parts of our video where the volume of our audio is not as loud as we would like it to be, so we could re-record our lines or add voice overs to our video to make it sound more like a real broadcast. We also realized that we could still work on our lighting. Since we did our video outdoors, it could be seen as dark or not bright enough, so we could still work on our lighting when we edit our video to make it look more natural.
Looking back, the editing helped us realize our strengths and weaknesses. We had a good acting and location scene, but audio and lighting are a lot more important than we realized. This helped us realize that editing is not just putting the video together, but also fixing the video and getting it to look professional. Going forward, we hope to improve our audio, adjust the lighting in the editing software, and possibly re-film some parts of the video so our final opening looks realistic.
