Editing Do's and Dont's
Everything has Do's and Don'ts. Not following them, may lead to disastrous situations! Are you really as Editing Savvy as you may think? How many of these Do's and Don'ts do you know? And most importantly, how many do you follow?
1. Do use the song lyrics of a singer. Don't use the song lyrics of a different singer.
Basically, don't make an edit of Taylor Swift, then put Miley Cyrus lyrics in it. It's better to keep your edit organised, rather than all over the place.
2. Do keep the shadow close to the person. Don't keep it far away.
When adding a shadow don't keep it miles away from the actual person, or thing you are adding it to - Keep it about a few millimetres away. That way it doesn't look too weird.
3. Do have some sort of a colour scheme. Don't add random colours together.
You might have a one colour colour scheme (Pink) or two (Pink and purple) or more if you want (Pink, purple, light blue, light green, soft yellow) For colours that go together try finding the opposites on a colour wheel.
TIP: For a dark background add light lettering. For a light background add dark lettering.
4. Do add a white border to filmstrips. Don't leave it bare.
Adding a white border to filmstrips makes it look more clean and polished. A bare one though will possibly look more shabby and unclean.
5. Do use good Quality Images. Don't use low-resolution ones.
Again like above good, clear pictures look better than blurry, pixelated ones (Unless, that's what you want your edit to look like) For a guide on the different types of images you can get, why not check out my previous post here.
That's all for now. If I think of any more I'll let yese know. If you liked this post, please comment below, and maybe check out some of my other posts.
Have Fun,
