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
