The document summarizes various post-production techniques used to edit a video. It discusses using barn door transitions for a smooth opening, precisely cutting clips with the razor tool to synchronize footage and audio, adding dissolves to show the passing of time, editing the entire video in black and white to symbolically show the draining of color from the world, and slowing clips to exploit emotions and give more time to connect with characters. It also mentions using still titles at the end instead of rolling credits to complement the style, importing clips into the timeline, marking clips to get precise lengths, and speeding up footage to create a time lapse effect and show a character wishing to speed up time.

1. Media Post-Production print screens
We opened the video using the Barn
doors effect that came under the
video transitions folder. This allowed for
a smooth and impacting opening that
matched the song.
The Razor tool was frequently used to
precisely cut clips next to each other.
This meant it was easier to cut clips. The
razor tool allowed us to cut the clips in
certain places so the footage was
synchronised with audio. Razor tool also
helped use cut out footage froma clip
that didn’t suit the videos narrative but
the rest of the clip did, therefor the clip
was cut down and spliced together.
