    Aesthetics of Editing


    To bring stories together post production is very important.  That art of editing is what creates the unique experiences that captures an audience attention.  The manipulation of the footage is what separates it from others.

    Post production of a film can be very fun but it also takes a lot of time.  To bring the story to life it takes a great amount of time to review, shorten, and add effects to create an experience.  The editor must make every cut in the program have a purpose, and transparent with the view.

    It is very interesting to my how Osogood and Hinshaw explain the aesthetics of editing as a psychology.  They state you must "Get inside the viewers mind."  As I am currently editing I am going through the process of trying to create something that my viewers will enjoy.  I want to them to experience something that captures their minds and leaves some type of effect on them.  In doing so my mental process is just as Osogood and Hinshaw explained; I am trying to get inside of the minds of people who may view my video.

    The use of b-roll is a very common and effective technique to use when creating a film.  Using footage to visually describe the story is a great way to get an audience's attention.  There are also many things you must take into account when psychologically editing your video.


    • Image and Sound
    • Shot Order
    • Shot relationship
    • Time
    • Rhythm and Pace   
    All of these are very important and things you should be conscious of when you are editing footage. 

    Another key component to editing footage is continuity.  Maintaining the stories consistency from shot to shot can make or break a film. There are two types of continuity.

    • Physical Continuity
    • Technical Continuity 
    These refer to the items in the footage and technical problems.

    Filters, composition, and key framing are another part of editing a video.  

    Editing is the last and final process producing a film.  It gives it meaning and life so that the viewer can enjoy an experience that leaves a lasting impression
