Building Blocks of Editing Sequence

Scripted action and dialog- the actor or host will have to perform a scene using a script that has been memorized or using a teleprompter.  In this case many takes are made in order for the director to have a good scene.

Unscripted action and dialog- footage is usually shot using real world subjects and nothing is scripted.  Examples of this could be an interview or a documentary of an animal.

Full-Screen graphics- it can take up the full screen and does not have to be superimposed with another video source.

Music and sound effects- these should be imported into the non-linear editing(NLE) project bin in an uncompressed file format.  Avoid using MP3 files and instead try to use WAV or AIFF files.
