Do you know that in the hit television series “That 70s Show,” actress Mila Kunis has to stand on a wood box so the other actors and actresses won’t tower over her on-screen? Since she was initially partnered with now-husband Ashton Kutcher who’s about 6’2”, the producers have to make it seem like he’s not towering over her that much. It wouldn’t look too good on TV if he looks more like her dad than her boyfriend, right? Such is the power of editing and tricks in Lakeland video production.

But making an actress look taller is just one part of the trick and editing skills that are needed to make an amazing video. Editors need to know how to splice, cut, combine, and transition these video clips to make sure that they send the right message to the audience. Even the way the actors speak can be edited. Voice manipulation is a development in video technology that is slowly starting to gain momentum.

The question needs to be asked: Do we really have good actors or are all these magically edited? Look, there’s no question that the actors and actresses we now watch are good at their craft. They auditioned for these roles. They trained for these roles.

And if you’re like Joaquin Phoenix who’s a method actor, you lived in these roles. But it also helps that video editors can manipulate scenes, backgrounds, and voices. We guess the only thing left for these developers to create is the ability to mimic facial expressions and convey emotions. But even that is not such an impossibility.

The way a video is edited plays a huge role as to how a message will be received by the audience. Splice and cut the videos badly enough and the message will be lost. But with the use of the proper sequencing and transition, a badly shot video can influence its audience.

How about the music? Isn’t that part of the editing, too? Yes, of course, it is. Can you imagine if different music was used when Leonardo DiCaprio asked Kate Winslet to stand on the edge of the ship’s bow in Titanic? Would there be another song that better fits that scene?

Imagine yourself walking down the aisle during your wedding. What is the song that you want to hear? That will put you in the mood and maybe even cry because of the feelings evoked by the song. That’s exactly how video editors are also choosing what music to use in videos. They need to think of the emotions they want to evoke from the viewers.

When creating Lakeland video production, you should also take a long look at how it is being edited. As much as you try to shoot the scenes perfectly, editing will play a big part in keeping the video as amazing as it should be.
