In this blog you can find the work I did on how to edit with multiple cameras. My group filmed the footage, but I edited it alone. My teacher provided a template for the blog post.
What is Multicam Editing?
Multicam editing is the process of editing footage of a single scene or subject recorded from different cameras and angles. Showing the same scene or subject from different angles helps make the video more dynamic and visually captivating for your audience
Shooting
Our subject , a classmate, stood in the centre of the room and did a short performance. My group stood around the subject to record the performance from different angles. You can also see members from other groups because we did this lesson as a class. To make it easier to synchronise our cameras, the teacher clapped at the start of the scene. This allowed us to line up the video in the editing process and ensure that the transitions would be smooth. Without this simple action it would have taken a lot longer to sync the videos.

My editing process
Upload the videos to the editing software (Microsoft Clipchamp)
Detach the audio of the clip you wish to use in the final video.
Find the ‘clap’ marker on the audio.
Line up the video files together.
Cut where I want the edit to happen
Don’t delete the clip, just lower the opacity. This way it can be used again later.
Mute all clips except for the one you want to use.
Here is my final edited video:
Reflection: I already had previous editing experience, but since it had been a while since I edited multiple clips and timed it all right this was a great warm up. This was a fun little classwork activity that me and my classmates enjoyed. I had no overall issues besides the lack of time, luckily I already finished the editing and only needed to export it by the time was up. I used my laptop to edit because it's generally easier for me, I've only used a phone to edit once and it was harder for me.
