Editing transitions and techniques

 Research, research and more research! Today I spent most of my time reflecting and researching how to improve the quality as well as the shots I am incorporating in my film. Since I am not very used to editing with "Davinci Resolve" I did a little bit of exploring before I went straight on to research how to use different effects and transitions in the app. 


For my opening shot of the time lapse sunrise, I had to find a way to reverse the clip since I filmed a sunset just to make my life a little bit easier. As you can tell by the left side image, I researched how I could change the clip to go the opposite way. The guy in the video was quite hilarious and I enjoyed that it's time limit was not too long, this helped me keep going at a faster rate with the rest of my project. 

It was only a few years ago that I remembered  when I took a film class in middle school they showed me about the fade in- fade out effect. Usually with background sounds or music videos this technique is primarily used to sooth out the sound of whatever the viewer might be watching. Since I will be using background audio in most of my clips I decided to research how to implement this transition onto an actual video. This will help me in the long run since the protagonist is talking most times, therefore instead of cutting the audio sharp, the fade out creates a continuous outline. 



 Okay, enough about transitions, I have been looking for representations of foley sounds that could help me with the sound of my popped tire. In my film opening Lucas Paine (the protagonist) is driving on his way to school when all of the sudden he hears an instant 'pop'. For the viewer to hear that 'pop' noise it has to be implemented in an audio. Therefore, I was thinking of making the sound as realistic by popping a ballon. I mean it can't get better than that, can it?
