Editing Workshop Three

During this editing workshop we were taught about some new tools as well as modifying different audio channels. We were given four clips and had to modify the audio channels in order to find the clearest one to use, to start with it seemed very complicated but then the more that I practiced it the easier it got, and this will be useful for when recording using clip mics and trying to find the different recordings as most cameras record up to four channels.

Director One- Ben Taylor

Ben Taylor is predominantly a director but has also been a producer a couple of times. He is best known for directing the Bafta winning "Catastrophe" (2015) and majority of the episodes from series one of "Sex Education" (2019).

Something that I really enjoyed in the BBC Headlines, was that the music set the pace of the piece. The shots, transitions, pans and tilts all matched to the traditional BBC News Music. This set a slightly faster pace which added a dramatic element to the programme and in turn fitted with the Traditional BBC theme, as well as holding the audiences attention. Using the music to set the pace was something that I enjoyed, therefore when considering our News Channel, music is something that will have to be strongly considered, as well as the pace that it creates.  Fig. 1 BBC News Headlines ...
