Pulling the project all together

The editing process can be long and tedious, but with the proper planning beforehand it can be a painless process. Ensuring that information collected via recording is properly organized as much as possible during the interview process will make post production much faster.

Remembering important parts of the subjects being interviewed will also decrease the time needed to process the audio and video. Once editing the most difficult challenge was pacing.

Ensuring that the video and audio match or demonstrate what is being discussed is important. Also knowing when to use certain transitions and how long to pause between elements to get a desired sense of flow is an important story telling element.

During my editing process nothing surprised me. I was organized and had a clear goal in mind which enabled the project to come together quickly and smoothly.
