Editing Passes

The following are the six main passes made while editing a final project:


  1. Construct the primary audio narrative: Insert sound bites, narration, and voiceover from the start to the end of the timeline.  
  2. Insert B-Roll and natural sound: Now that the primary audio is there, you can start at the beginning of the timeline and add B-Roll and natural sound.  
  3. Insert titles and graphics: Next you can insert lower-thirds and graphics.  
  4. Add sound effects and music: Now that the basic structure is complete, sound effects and music can be added.  If you're constructing a music video, the song must be added earlier so that the beat of the song can be used for timing of the video clips.
  5. Add transitions and effects: Once all of the clips have been added into the timeline and in their proper locations, you can begin adding transitions and effects.    
  6. Finishing touches: The final step is to adjust the placement of the clips and the timing of transitions, titles, and effects.  Sometimes color correction to video clips or tweaking audio clips is necessary.

Aspect Ratio & Scanning Methods

Aspect ratio displays the proportions of the width to the height of the screen in the form of x:y.  The width is represented by x and height by y. Aspect Ratios: 10" tablet: 4:3 Smartphone: 667:375 Leaderboard Ad: 364:45 HDTV : 16:9  Interlaced and Progressive scanning are the two main ways that devices scan images.  Computer monitors and some televisions use progressive scanning, which means that they scan from left to right and top to bottom.  Interlaced scanning refers to the method used by most televisions.  This system scans all of the odd lines first, and then it scans all of the even lines.  Interlaced scanning makes it easier on the viewer's eyes because they are actually only seeing half of the image at once, even though it happens so rapidly that they do not realize it.  It also reduces bandwidth use and flickering.

Field of View Variables

Four important variables to consider when composing your field of view are: Camera Location - The point of view (the position of the camera in relation to the subject) is obviously essential to the shot.  The physical location  needs to be paid careful attention to because it determines what is or isn't in the shot. Camera Angle - the angle of the camera is important because it influences the message of the shot and exaggerates different things in the photograph. Subject Location - this is not always up to the photographer but is just as essential to the shot.  The pose and also the landscape around the subject effect the image greatly.   Focal Length - this is the lens found on camcorders that gives you latitude to adjust your framing.  This helps zooming in and out and to adjust the frame and framing the subject.
