Screenflow Editing Software





I am using two different editing software: CapCut and Screenflow. The video effects I have decided to use are mainly diegetic sounds like footsteps, small dialogue, and natural ambience. The non-diegetic sounds I decided to use are horror stinger sound effects and a soundtrack of several different songs. During the transitions of scenes, I used Dissolve, which seamlessly blends two scenes into each other, as well as a fade in/ out transition. During editing, I have found the issue of having too much footage. After I added all my footage to the editing software, I had over five minutes of footage. To shave it down to two minutes, I had to remove scenes and make most of them shorter. Another issue I encountered was pairing all the footage together because I filmed most of the shots out of order. Some of the scenes fit together perfectly, while others are a bit choppy. I used several dissolving transitions between these scenes to ensure they went together and were not too choppy.

The movie I chose to watch and analyze is the 2015 movie produced by Brad Peyton called San Andreas. It is an action natural disaster movie. There are several uses of aerial shots, wide shots, and two shots. The first scene of the movie shows a close-up shot of a young woman driving in a car on a road on the side of a mountain. The back-and-forth camera angles between the young woman and the car driving down the road add tension to the situation. Then a POV shot of the inside of the car shows the car and the young woman falling down the side of the mountain. The shaky camera movement combined with the POV shot adds an ample amount of intensity and action to the scene as well as it adds anxiety to the young woman's situation. Toward the middle of the movie, there is a scene using a Two-shot camera angle, showing the two main characters, Ray and Emma in a helicopter. The intense dialogue and intimate close angle demonstrate the trust the two characters are gaining for each other Whic...
