Classwork: Multicam Editing

Here is the work I did on how to edit with multiple cameras. My group filmed the footage, but I edited it myself. My teacher provided a template for the blog post. This blog post is completed by me (Chelsea).

What is Multicam Editing?
Multicam editing is the process of editing footage of a single scene or subject recorded from different cameras and angles. Showing the same scene or subject from different angles helps make the video more dynamic and visually captivating for your audience

Shooting

Our subject , a classmate, stood in the centre of the room and did a short performance. My group stood around the subject to record the performance from different angles. You can also see members from other groups because we did this lesson as a class. To make it easier to synchronise our cameras, the teacher clapped at the start of the scene. This allowed us to line up the video in the editing process and ensure that the transitions would be smooth. Without this simple action it would have taken a lot longer to sync the videos.

Here are the raw videos from my group members:

Video 2 (Audrey - High angle)

Video 3 (Chelsea - Long shot)

My editing process

• Upload the videos to the editing software (YOUR SOFTWARE ) 

• Detach the audio of the clip you wish to use in the final video. 

• Find the ‘clap’ marker on the audio.

• Line up the video files together. 

• Cut where I want the edit to happen

• Don’t delete the clip, just lower the opacity. This way it can be used again later. 

• Mute all clips except for the one you want to use.

Reflection: How will this help your project? What did you find challenging? What is there anyway to simplify this process?
