Going to Work with my Dad to Improve my Editing Skills!
Hi guys, welcome back to another blog post. Today, I will be talking about my experience going to work with my dad and learning many new things about editing. Ok lets get started!
Before finally starting the editing phase, I went to work with my dad, and since he is a cameraman and editor for Telemundo, I really learned a lot about what goes into editing and what tools can enhance your videos. I observed him, and he taught things like grouping audio layers and keyframing audio. I believe these are skills that are taught at editing camps or workshops, so to get this for free was a blessing. I also learned more about timeline organization, like labeling tracks clearly, and I learned how to keep sound effects, dialogue, and ambient noise separated. I realized how important organization is when working on projects like this, which will help me when I finally get to editing our film opener.
Additionally, I learned more advanced features like smoothing volume changes and adjusting sound levels gradually instead of making harsh cuts. This will be very useful since, for horror, sound design will help create tension and suspense. Another skill I learned was how editors test pacing. I tried it on my dad's laptop, and I was able to spot moments in the video he was editing that dragged on too long or needed to be cut.
In conclusion, going to work with my dad at Telemundo gave me hands-on experience in editing. It helped me improve my skills and decision-making, which I hope will make the editing process of our film opener easier for me!
