The document describes the film editing process. It shows screenshots of organizing footage files in Premiere Pro. It then discusses importing footage, cropping clips, adding transitions between scenes, adding music to enhance the horror genre, including opening text and credits to professionalize the film, and finally rendering and exporting the final film.

1. EVIDENCE OF EDITING
PROCESS
Unit 17

2. Footage files
Below is a screenshot of the files I kept my footage and video files under to
keep them safe and as a good way of organising them. To begin with I first
looked through them all and wrote down which ones I wanted to keep in my
film. I chose not to rename the files so it made my rushes log organised and
look persistent so all the names started with ‘MVI_’.

3. Evidence of me using premiere pro
This image shows me editing my film
using Adobe Premiere Pro. To begin
editing I had to import all my files
and footage to begin the editing
process. I had to make sure I didn’t
import them all at once because there
was too many, so instead I added in
the footage of each scene so I could
edit scene by scene.

4. Cropping video clips
Next I cropped and edited all my clips so I could remove the unneeded
dialogue, telling the actor’s what to do and when to go. This made the film
shorter for time and also made it professional so the film was able to portray
the genre and plot.

5. Adding in transitions
I added in transitions to make the film look smoother and more professional,
between scene changes to make them entwine and look smoother together.

6. Adding music
Here I added in music to
enhance the horror genre and
theme. I added in sad,
ambiguous music for when
charlotte is on her walk,
creating tension before she
gets captured. Then when the
capture happens I ensured to
have a pulsating, loud
background music to make it
thrilling and tense.

7. Adding text
Next I added in text for the
name of the film, to star at the
beginning, so the audience are
aware of what the film is called
and what the genre is going to
be. I chose the text to be quite
spaced out so the letters can be
seen clearly and the word
captured is catching the
audience’s attention.

8. Adding credits
Here I added credits to
finish off the film so the
audience knew who
edited and starred in the
film. This also makes it
professional because it
looks like a real film.

9. Final render and exporting film
Lastly to finish my
short film I rendered
and then exported
it. This allowed my
film to be uploaded
onto YouTube and
onto ‘short of the
week’
