Action Short Editing
Project Overview:
For a post-production class assignment, I edited a fast-paced match action short film using stock footage from EditStock. The project required me to take raw dailies and a line script and shape them into a cohesive and compelling story entirely through post-production.
Objectives and Strategy:
The challenge of this project was to build the narrative solely in the edit—making precise choices with timing, continuity, and emotion. I focused on maintaining seamless match action while enhancing the film with detailed sound design, music, and color correction to elevate the overall intensity and pacing.
Production Details:
My Role: Video editor, sound designer, music editor, and colorist
Tools Used: Final Cut Pro
Footage Source: EditStock
Project Type: Action Short (University Post-Production Class Project)
Outcome:
This project deepened my appreciation for the storytelling power of editing and sharpened my technical and creative skills in building narrative flow. The process of fine-tooth combing through footage, syncing action, and adding emotional tone through sound and color reinforced why post-production is one of my favorite stages of filmmaking.
