Video
Most of the video editing we have done so far has been fairly standard. At this stage we have transferred all our footage to the computer's D drive. We are using Premiere Elements for editing which is perfectly adequate for our needs. When I edit I prefer to preview the clip and cut it to it's rough size before placing it onto the timeline. If it requires lipsyncing I match up the audio as best I can otherwise I delete the audio immediately since it is not needed. Then it is a simple matter of the finer cuts in order to make sure it all flows. My skills at editing video have definitely improved since my AS piece, mainly because of practice, and I definitely feel more at ease, even with the daunting amounts of footage.
Audio
We decided that we wanted to cut out the one swearword in the song, however there are no radio edits of it available, therefore I had to do it manually. To do this I used the free program Audacity. I identified the section and used the vocal remover effect to try and remove the section, of course as a preset effect it was not completely effective, so I downloaded a bleep sound effect from freesound.org and added it as a new layer over the top. After working out the levels I exported it as our censored version of the song. We then added the song to our project as the base, in order to simply add video over the top.
Well done, good layout of post and detailed comments
