Studio Workshop - Camera Lesson 3

During our third lesson in the studio we were taught how to edit. Editing is a postproduction process that is fundamental to the creation of a media piece. The editing process is composed of a number of smaller developments. When material is gathered for an edit it is initially watched several times and than clipped together into a desirable sequence. Soon afterwards colour grading is layered on top of the cut material together with edited diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. Throughout our lesson I edited together with my team the sequence, which we have produced during our second studio lesson. As listed above we completed the process of editing our clip by primarily situating the footage into a sequence and lastly colour grading it.
In addition to the following the process of editing gives way to a number of amazing transitions and ways in which footage is presented that are present in typical pieces of media. For instance different styles of cuts, sound bridges, and in certain cases the positing of the material on screen is reformed during the editing process. Furthermore certain parts of the materials velocity are changed to portray a certain mood within a media piece. I should also mention that this style of editing is different to a one that uses green screens and CGI technology to enrich a media piece. Finally editor possesses the power to mediate material and make a media piece in way that appeals to him/her.  Different styles of editing lead towards different types of media pieces which are received in various ways by the audience, meaning that editing is once again a fundamental part of creating a media piece.
