YOUTH: Editing
Below is a synopsis our editing process, which took around 2 to 3 weeks to start and finish.
We began our editing process by transferring the footage from the memory card onto the mac and exporting it onto final cut pro. We then picked the best takes from the footage, labelled them so as we edited along we could easily pick the takes we wanted.
We used the colour board feature as some shots did not have the Black Pro mist filter and although the colouring was altered slightly we were able to change this by changing the exposure.
The blading tool was arguably the best when editing as it allows us to separate a shot and then insert another on in-in between.
We also added transitions in our film, for example the fade to black when I drops to the ground helps the pace of the film and also the actors performance. The performance in this part of the filming was challenging for the actors so the addition of a transition helped and made it more natural. The fade in the opening also compliments the fading of the music.
The Font we used in the opening of the film for the poster was featured on final cut, we chose this as it correlated with our clinical but also futuristic theme.
Letter boxing was an extremely important when it came to editing, in final cut pro we cropped the bottom and top of the shot. We had filmed with the letter boxes installed, making sure the letter boxes where smoothly edited into the final product.
For sound editing, we sued a muffling filter when Steve begins talking and Mick puts the ear piece in, giving the audience the point of Mick and what he hears.
An old vintage radio effect was added in as it gave a static and transmission sound and when combined with Steve's muffled voice it produced the final sound effect with that scene, giving a great layer for the voice over to begin.
Both dialogue and music was faded in when location or scene changed to give it a more natural and professional transition.
