Editing an interview

Summary

In this assignment we were given a half an hour raw interview of James Clark and multiple different b footage options and were tasked with editing it down into a interview that last less than three minuets and used transitions such as the morph cut as well as cut away to b-roll three times.

Terms and Concepts

  • Q – cuts everything to the left of the playhead
  • W – cuts everything to the left of the playhead
  • Control/K – slices the clip at the playhead
  • I – In-point
  • O – Out-point
  • ; – Lift (leaves the gap)
  • ‘ – Extract (fills the gap)
  • B – Ripple edit tool
  • Arrow up – move cursor to left edit
  • Control/Shift/D – add cross fade between two clips
  • Number Pad – Moves cursor to specific location on video
  • Source Patching – whatever track in the timeline you tell the source monitor to deliver the video into
  • Opt, X – Clears all in-points and out-points
  • B-roll – alternative footage to out in-between shots

  • the first 10 seconds of the interview seem like a good comedic way to introduce the audience to James clark and the topic
  • the topic of what his inspiration is seems like the best topic that works with the provided b-roll
