Insert Edit

This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in a gap that you create between two pieces of footage that you have split up. To do this, you press control and drag the clip where you would like it to go in regards to your other clip. I decided to insert the 2nd clip where I did because I like the suspense that was created, when I just stopped her as she is about to make her jump, and the viewer gets to see more of her individuality and personality in the meantime. An insert allows you to put another clip in to your original one without recording over a portion. You are simply just makeing a gap or pause and filling it in. I think that I like inserting clips a little better just because I don't worry about cutting out a little piece of the movie that later will look like a mistake. If you are ok with losing a piece of footage because you record over it, then overlaying works, but if you pprefer to keep all of your footage and just add more, then you want to insert. I realize that I did not save this as aidescreen, and I promise to not make the same blunder on my next task. I finished this project with the help of Haley Barker.
