Steven Spielberg Wannabe
But, what happens? After 5 minutes, you sense the first sign of something terrible. Are they bored? How is that possible? With so much fun and action on the screen? I think I saw one yawning. Still - there is four more tapes…
You have just learned your first lesson. Lesson number one: Edit your tapes. The raw material is only interesting for the participants. You need to learn how to cut. In fact, you need to cut to the bone.
Here's the thumb rule: The final product is never - Never - larger than 1/20th of your raw footage. In other words: One hour of raw video becomes 3 minutes of final product.
That sounds easy. However, if you never tried this, you are in for a big surprise. It is so hard, to ignore all those excellent recordings you have made. It will put your self-control on a considerable test.
The reward, though, is indisputable. The audience is yours - in your hands. They will ask for more. They will pat you on the back with a job extremely well done. Oh happy day!
Ok - maybe you have to learn a few more tricks before you announce yourself the new Spielberg. Nevertheless, you are on the right path.
As a music video producer, I can give you one more tip right now. Carry out and experiment in making music videos. Its fun and it is the ultimate method of video editing. You start with the sound file and add the video clips, adjusted to the mood and rhythm. You have a restricted length to work with; witch gives you valuable editing practise.
Have fun, and remember to use easy and user-friendly editing software.
