Practical: Flashbacks

Flashback

I composed my flashback edit in Sony Vegas 13, I used various different clips that I found in YouTube and went for a deep, insightful type of flashback to invoke an emotional response from the audience. The actual flashbacks only begins near the middle of the clip and is achieved with a video FX and a transition effect called "Colour Correction" and "Flash".

           For the beginning and end of the video and audio clips I faded them to enhance the effect.

I used two different audio clips in this practical, one was a non-diegetic soundtrack and a diegetic motivational speech. I had to change the volumes of the two clips at different times of the video this was done by clicking on the audio track and pressing v. A line would then appear where I could freely alter the levels of sound.

Having hands on experience with Sony Vegas is great to improve my skills and knowledge to use for my final movie.
