Editing Music

Today i went in on one of my free lessons and started to edit the music we had chosen, which was about 20 seconds short of the length of our opening sequence. To make it longer i split it up a couple of sections when the music drones and copied it a couple of times, i split it when the music drones because it's not as noticeable when part of a drone is repeated. I did this in a couple of points throughout the track until the music was at the length we needed and was timed right so that when the music was rapidly increasing in tension the video was as well. One problem was that in some parts that had been copied there was a little jump as it went from one bit to the next, so i looked at the audio effects and found one called constant power and put it over each of the joins of bits that had been copied, and this then made it flow through the music much better and it's not as easy to hear that the music had been cut and copied.

In this time i also created another series of quick fire shots, but this time they were literally split second clips put together and put at the end of the quick fire shots, i put it here because our opening sequence increases in tension as it goes on, so this is like the final big burst of tension before it stops with the music and then cuts to 'directed by' and then the shot of the character opening the door.
