Film editing is the process of cutting clips and adjusting scenes in order to put together the pieces of a film. To do this, I used iMovie to organize everything and assemble the clips in the order I needed them. I decided to do everything in phases to make sure that every scene is edited properly with as minimal mistakes as possible.
My first editing phase was all cutting and cropping scenes. For this, I was able to just use my Photos app to cut out my voice telling my actors to go or stop. Next, I shortened scenes to ensure I could remain within my time frame while also keeping the scenes at a length that keeps the film opening flowing well.
The next editing phase consists of editing sounds. For scenes with audible dialogue, I chose to use voice isolation so that the unavoidable background noises could be removed since they could be distracting. This also allowed for the voices that were quiet to be heighten and prioritized in the scene. Next, I also had to layer my sound effects and music over my visual scenes. The sound effects included the whispering noises over my title sequence, the sound of the knife and the school bell ringing. The music went over the scenes of the girls getting ready and over there scene of the murder. To add these, I simply used the editing tools in iMovie to place it over each scene with the correct timing.
Lastly, the end of my editing was visual edits. These edits mostly were focused on the lighting and quality of the scenes. Some scenes had to filmed in darker lighting so I used brightening and focusing tools to repair them so the scenes can all look cohesive.
