With my showreel I decided to keep the editing to a minimum, so swipes and roll in effects have not been included. I wanted a quick snappy and straightforward presentation of my work which is a style I have seen with professional showreels. I personally think transitions and text effects bloat out the animation and slow the pace so this is why I left them out. I started by placing my audio in and marking the beat on the timeline which gave me a loose guide to follow. I then chose a typeface and colour for the starting frames which also gave me a template for the title frames during the main content of the animation. I then started placing my second best piece first and cutting the best parts to the music and including the titles, I did this for each of the five pieces until I had a rough and loose edit. I then neatened the cuts so they were exactly to the beat and the best parts of the work was shown, i made sure the flow and variation of clip lengths was solid and not too unstructured. When I was happy I found a good cut off point for the audio and added an end screen similar to the starting one.
