Editing of Final Production

For my final artefact, I am using Adobe After Effects to create and edit the footage and audio I have to create a split screen/YouTube annotations video. So far I have started to organise all the footage into the correct sequences, adding any text and cutting any footage down.

I have already started adding split screen into the sequence. I have created the split screen, by first when filming, putting the character on the left then the right side of the screen, and then when it has come to editing, cropped one of side of one of the clips out, and placed it over the top of the other, so it creates a split screen, with the same character.

Also one of the weapons the character uses is a wand, and in one of the scenes, my idea was to use to the one to make them disappear. Using After Effects, and cropping the clip into two, I have successfully made it look like the character vanishes.

In the next stages of editing, I need to find audio and sounds to add intensity, and make it sound more fun, such as intense music when the fight begins, sound effects of guns and wands, and music when your character wins or loses. I also need to keep finishing editing the rest of the footage by adding it all in the correct order and add some typography for the title screen. Once it is all edited down, I need to upload on to YouTube and to add all my annotations which could take some time, as the outcomes of fights are different every time. It needs a lot of concentration and planning for this to be successful.
