Task 4: C larifying the purpose of the work with a client or director
Unit 16: Film and Video Editing Techniques
1. How long does the promotional video need to be? Two to Three minutes long
2. What types of shots would you like to see?
Using a range of different shots around the college and the student areas. A range of indoor and outdoor shots if possible Show people what the college is like and how students use it
3. Who are our target audience?
Year eleven students that are thinking about what college they are going to attend
Parents looking at where their child is going to go and study4. What type and style of music would you like to hear?
The Music needs to suit the style of the video Nothing too fast that will make the audience miss important details Nothing too slow that the audience loses interest in the video
5. Is there any text or comments about the college would you like to see?
Comments about what the college is like Students’ thoughts about the college Pass results from exams How to get in touch with the college (possible at the end using the social media
addresses) Voiceover comments also used which don’t have to match up with the subject
however when this happens the music volume it lowered so the voice isn’t too loud6. Is there a list of subjects that you would like to see in the video in case we can’t fit them all
in?
College wide7. Would the logo of the college be best placed?
At the beginning and the end of the promo video8. Location of the college mentioned?
Possible, however possible just the college website or contact locations inside of the place address
9. Are there any colours you would like to see that matches the college?
College colours10. What type of pace would you like to see?
Fits the music well and doesn’t cause the viewer to lose interest.
Task 5: Preparing to edit : importing clips; bins; timelines; storage and folder management; online and offline editing; formats; resolution
Unit 16: Film and Video Editing Techniques
Creating Bins
By creating bins, this simply means that the promo video and clips can be stored in one place on Final Cut allowing no clips to be mislaid or mixed up with other projects. When editing creating bins allows the editor to know where clips are stored and in a professional setting if the editor is working with more than one person, the other editor will know where to find clips that they need to work with for the part of the edit they are dealing with.
Importing Clips
By importing clips all at once it allows the editor to have access to all the clips they need but also this allows them to add any clips that they have been waiting for from the animation department or any late filmed pieces. In a professional setting, some editors start editing with the director before the final scene is filmed as this allowed the director to make any chances they need to the script or add new scenes to replace old ones.
Storage and Management
Unit 16: Film and Video Editing Techniques
By managing where the clips are stored in Final Cut, as this allows the editor to know where clips can be found when working on a certain part of the film. This allows the editor to be able to see their projects and locate any projects they are working on easily.
Timeline
By editing on the timeline, it allows the editor to see where each clip is located on the timeline. This also allows the editor to edit the sound along side the clips so that the two works together correct and flows more softly and smoothly.
Format
Unit 16: Film and Video Editing Techniques
The format setting for the clips are important when editing as some formats do not work on some computer types like PC or Mac. MOV and MPEG4 are the two most common formats of file clips that I used as these work on a Mac and Final Cut. However there are other types of formats like WMV with is Windows Movie Video, which does not work, as it is not compatible with Final Cut.
Resolution
Unit 16: Film and Video Editing Techniques
The resolution of the film is important for the viewer; the most common resolution is the 1080P, which is the progressive scan also known as Full HD. This allows the viewer to see sharp and clear images on the screen. 720P is the lowers resolution and can appear broken or unclear on the screen for the viewer. The audience is now use to seeing everything in HD and it is now expected for videos to appear in this. However as normal technology is now developing and soon videos can appear in 4K.
Video Codec
Video Codec is a type of compression that can be used to compress the video allowing the space to decrease and will vary the size and quality of the file. This can consider compatibility with hardware and software.
By compressing the file, it allows the file to be spared and send without having a large file, which can’t be shared. If the file is used on a website, if it is too large the site will not be able to embed the clip and no one will be able to view it.
Online & Offline Editing
When films were developed from file reels and tape before editing the editor would copy the original footage and then edited the copy without using the original. This style helped to not damage the original film reels, which would have meant that part of the film would have been unusable for the final edit. Once the edit was complete and approved the editor would edit the original reel of the film, as an edit decision list would have been made during film. When editing became digital offline editing was when the footage would be edited however wouldn’t change the original footage until the editor applied the online editing and

it is then that the software would apply the edit. Offline is known as editing low-resolution footage where storage is an issue when online editing changes it’s meaning to where the pictures are reassembled at full or ‘online’ resolution.
