Malevolent Phantom
Editing
For the initial draft edit of the opening
of our film we used Sony Vegas software to edit purely because I have used it
before and find it easy and comfortable to work with, also its on my laptop at
home so I could edit the film outside of school. It will be good in giving us a
simple, clear idea of what our project will look like all edited together and
what parts we may need to re-film or change to make it look more professorial.
After Christmas we may choose to re-edit it in adobe software to get a more
sophisticated look to it with more developed features so I will look at
tutorials for how to use that software to the best of my ability. I have used
Sony Vegas for a few years now and have developed my skills whilst using it so
I didn't need to watch any online tutorials on how to work it but just to
refresh my memory I quickly glanced over a few tutorials to develop my skills
even further and looked over the basics again (mainly the keyboard shortcut
keys as it makes life a lot easier.)
This video goes over the basics and gives
newbies a clear idea on how to do the most simple editing, when I first started
editing this would have been helpful, so to refresh my memory on how to edit
using this software was perfect.
When you're editing it can be quite
tiresome to keep having to use the mouse to click things and perform simple
tasks when having a keyboard shortcut would be a lot easier. This video quickly
sums up the basic Sony Vegas shortcuts to make editing even easier.

The other software we will use after
Christmas to create a more professional look to our film is adobe, I have never
used this software before and therefore will research into it to find out how
to use it to the best of my abilities. The video above helped me to learn the
basics of this adobe software so I now feel more confident in editing our film
footage in it. I think between now and after Christmas it would also be helpful
to learn how to do opening titles as it will create a more professional look
for our film.
