In camera edit description

This video was an in camera edit. The purpose of the video was to show how videos can purely be edited in camera without having to take all of the footage of the camera and having to transfer it over to a form of iMovie or windows movie maker which are both editing software’s. An in camera edit is directed on the spot as each recording is taking place as they will not get the opportunity to change this during the editing process. The director will need to make sure each clip is the final clip that he wants to use as it cannot be taken again at a later date. An in camera edit is filming each scene in the exact order it is going to be played back in, in a way it protects the continuity. When doing an in camera edit you have to pay much more attention to the timing at the end of each shot as you want it to run from one shot to another shot in a smooth motion. When you have finished filming an in camera edit you do not have the go to the process of editing all the footage afterward. In a way it is a quicker process. However, it takes much longer to get each shot exactly how you want it to be.
