Film editing

What is film editing?

Film editing is when someone takes raw video footage and edits it to make it more visually pleasing. Film editing is one of the important parts of making a video, without it no one would watch the film. Film editing is also what allows us to have well edited T.V shows and movies. 

What does a film editor do? 

 A film editor's job is one of the most important in film making. Over the years film editing has evolved from the cutting together of video clips to digital technology. Not only do film editors have to edit the video to the target audiences liking, but they also add their own personal creativity. It's safe to say the job of a film maker is not easy. 

Here is a picture of how film editors used to edit videos. 

The process of film editing 

The first thing you need to know is that there are three main stages of video production. The stages are pre-production, production, and post-production. The first step to film editing is pre-production, in this stage is when the story board comes in. The storyboard is there to let the editor knows the vision for the movie. The next step is the production portion. This stage is when the editor gets all the raw footage and starts the simple editing of the film. Simple editing is when you add all the video and audio clips in order and maybe start to include transitions between them. The final step to film editing it post-production. During this stage the film editor will have most of the video editing done. The only thing left to do is minor touchups either with the video or audio.

1.  Media representations are studied through the portrayals of different social groups, such as age, social class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and disability. I think this statement is about how through media studies movies are now able to better represent different social groups correctly. I feel that this stamen mentions how the representation of different cultures, ages,  social classes, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability has been improving due to  media studies. One movie that does a good job of showing the representation of another culture is "The woman king." This movie shows how a kingdom lived and survived even at the worst of times. We learn about their native dances, weaponry, clothing, and methods of healing. While this film does a good job representing this kingdom, I don't think all media accurately represent every social group it covers. I know this because I've seen multiple statements made on a specific social group that contradicts each ot

Critical Reflection Questions

   Critical reflection PowerPoint   I created this PowerPoint by using inf ormation from previous assignment questions. In my final PowerPoint I answered questions about conventions, social group or issues, audience engagements, how my production skills developed, and how I integrated technologies in my video production.   In my PowerPoint   I   included  information on all these questions along with picture of my video. While creating this PowerPoint  I  did encounter a few problems. The first problem I had was with my PowerPoint  system. Once I  had all the information into the  PowerPoint  I the needed to record a voice over per the instructions. Unfortunately,  when I  went to record my voiceover,   I   realized  I didn't  have the record button. The record button is usually in the top right of the screen but for some reason it wasn't  these. To overcome this,  I recorded my voiceover as a separate video. The second problem I encountered was trying to find a way to add the
