Editing Practical

Normal Speed 

I used this practical to understand how to rewind a piece of film even though it turned out to be surprisingly easy. Firstly I used the different pieces I filmed and created a short scene of me walking through my house. I did this by cropping the individual films and then putting them in order making sure it is streamline so it flows.
1) This is the first step to rewinding a short piece.

2) Then I highlighted the whole sequence and went to a what looks like a wand and clicked on it. Then went down to reverse clip.




3)However when I played it back the clip was not in order so I moved the last clip first then the second to last clip clip second and so on. So changing the order meant it played in order which is something I didn't know you had to do. Knowing this would save time in the editing stage if we had to do this technique.

4) To increase the speed of the rewind I went back to the editing tool in which I used reverse the clip, I went onto the fast area and I had the option of changing the speed to 2x, 4x, 8x and 20x.

5) Then I sped the sequence up by 2x this didn't start the lag but shortened the time of the clip by half cause I increased the speed 2x.

6) Then I increased the speed to 4x this caused some problems of lag which meant the first part of the clip was cut out. To stop this I bladed the bit where I opened the door into two this meant it could load quicker and stop fragmenting the whole piece this worked meaning I learned another skill for our practical.

My evaluation of the practical displays that if for our real thing we will speed the clip by 4x or even 8x we would have to blade the clips lots of time to make sure the clip does not lag/jump bits of footage at all. This would take a lot of time and would prioritise out time towards the end of the editing stage. Also to save time I would order the sequences backwards meaning it could save time and also would allow us to see how long the music needs to be. Positive of the the clips moving backwards the diegetic sound, sounds like a reconstruction of the entire opening scene.
