Editing clips.

When filming we made a few mistakes and filmed for a longer prolonged time than sometimes was needed. when we returned to the MAC it meant we could upload the footage and pick parts of a clip we needed, condense it into a few shots, or simply split the clip.

This shows a simple clip we have put onto the film reel. We filmed for much longer but only used this one clip as it was all that we needed, so we selected this part and dragged it onto the film, this meant the bit we selected was the only bit that showed in the film, instead of unwanted bits from the rest of the clip.

This shows a split clip where we have taken three different parts of footage and placed them together to create a match on action effect. This means its quicker and only shows the relevant footage to the film. By not having the three clips as one also shows we have edited three different clips and merged them together to create one, as the other part of the footage was not needed.

When a piece of footage was on the reel and it was too long we could split the clip and remove one part. The good thing about splitting a clip also means we can add transitions in between one clip, without effecting the way it plays. This gives an added effect and shows we can use different parts of editing to our advantage.
