Overlay Edit

This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip over another one while cutting off the other clip as well and placing the new clip on top of it. To do this, you simply drag the new edited clip on to the spot where you feel is the best place to put the clip so that it may overlay the original clip already found in the timeline. I decided to overlay the 2nd clip where I did because I felt that, there it would cut off the part where the horse hides behind the hurtles because I reasoned that either way the horse would not be showing so it would be the perfect place to overlay the second clip. I feel that an overlay is used to delete unimportant parts in a clip and replace them with a more significant or reasonable clip, so as to bring the audience more into the clip. Also i think it would add some differentiation instead of the clip being monotone showing the same thing. An overlay is different than an insert because it deletes a portion from the original clip by the second clip and would probably be used to block out an unimportant scene with a more interesting one.
