Editing is a very important part of production in filmmaking. It's where the footage becomes the film, and this post will take you through our editing process. For our editing we used the application: Final Cut Pro because it allowed us to do voiceovers easily and put together all of the various shots we had.
In this screenshot we can see the all the clips that we filmed being brought together and merged to create one large clip. We can even see the audio being edited below one of the clips to suit the sound we need. We used distortion on some of the voices to make some of the voices sound more threatening and have a larger impact on the viewer.
Here we can see all the clips that we recorded and imported onto Final Cut Pro. The yellow outlines are simply showing the sections and clips that we thought have been selected to be in the opening. We chose the ones we thought were best suited for the opening we wanted to make. The clips however were edited also, by changing the saturation of certain shots to make the lighting in certain shots convey certain meanings. For example we made one particularly shot look more washed out to demonstrate that the character was about to die.
In this picture it shows us choosing some of the sound effects we might need in the trailer. The various sound effects were useful for adding sound effects of various bits of diegetic sound that didn't sound perfect on set. For example we added a gunshot effect, and also some glass clinking to make the environment fl more realistic to the audience. Don't worry, there won't be any 'Cartoon Boing Boing's in our SPY thriller opening. You might want to watch out for that 'Cartoon Congo' though...
