Description Long
The aim is to provide an answer to the initial question. Combine existing content like audio, video, text, pictures, and so forth, in a way that allows the target audience to follow as well as understand your reasoning and, as a result, learn something new.
You use the knowledge from your previous phases to evaluate the material and decide what to integrate; it is possible that you need to shoot or research some more. Make sure you have sufficient resources and ensure good resource management for your group accordingly. Someone who has experience with video editing software should assume responsibility for the cutting process while others can look after the design and overall dramaturgy. Use this phase to expand your competencies through exchange with people outside your group. You are in the middle of your project, and much of the work is still ahead of you. You can shoot and research missing material or information.
At the end of this phase, the film is converted into a suitable format and uploaded to your learning platform. Depending on the assignment, different material is uploaded.
‘The film edit describes the construction of an entire film but also many individual frames. It permits opposites to meet or merge. It creates tension or soothes, accelerates or slows down processes. The editing process serves to separate useless video and audio material from the useful material. Individual elements are brought together, and apparently unimportant frames are put into context. The film starts to grow and breathe.’ (https://www.film-college.de/filmschule/postproduktion/filmschnitt)
