Editing

The editing process was long and complicated. However the basic techniques we used are shown below.

Clicking these buttons allows us to accurately select a section of the footage we filmed before actually inserting it into the project.

Putting the footage on the time line inserted it into the project. This is when we can begin editing the footage together. Without any transitions added, the shot change is simply a cut.

We used cross-dissolve on the first section of the film, with the clouds and the radio mast. We also used it to fade between the circular object on the mast, and the lamp in the interrogation room.

For the final shot, we added a 'Dip to White' effect, which caused the shot to fade to white.

Here is what the footage looks like half way through the transition:

Finally, in order to give the effect of the radio broadcast fading in and out, and the amplified music at the end of the scene, we had to edit the audio.

We did this by increasing or decreasing the volume using the volume adjustment, coinciding it with the part of the film in which we wanted a change in audio.
