Concluding Editing for Short Film

Today I will be discussing the editing methods used in the short film. Editing is often an underappreciated topic. The most well-known edit is a simple yet crucial one. This edit is known as cropping. Cropping is the trimming of clips and adjusting them accordingly to the project. This can include making scenes shorter that had extra fluff in them. Another important edit was stitching the scenes together. While this is another simple edit, it is required as the scenes need to flow together smoothly into one another. In addition to this, an important edit is the inclusion of music. Music can often set the tone/atmosphere really well. Music can also help spice the film up rather than dead silence with occasional dialogue. Some films may require silence for tone, but I find that boring most times. Audio mixing is also a job done by the editor(s). This means balancing the audio in the film such as bringing out or lowering someone's voice. As previously mentioned, music can be included in films. Music volume levels would be included in audio mixing. In my case, the ambient noises had to be lowered in scenes we didn't talk to as there was a lot of unneeded noise. These jobs are all crucial to making a good film. Editing takes a lot of work and has many responsibilities. Additionally, creativity is required for editing as it takes ideas to include in the film. This concludes our short film editing.
