Editing blog


 As for editing, there are still many skills and things that I need to learn. I just started editing this year so with certain things, it is very difficult for me. Especially when it comes to new things. An example would be editing a music video because it requires importing music into the video. For the first six scenes, Jayda M, edited them. She cut out the parts that needed to be cut out. She also added transitions to make it flow smoothly. As for the last 6 scenes, jocelyn and I will split them together. The scenes edited by jayda are the opening scenes, the part where jocelyn and the boy are walking. She will also edit the scene where jocelyn and the boy are sitting down, where I’m with the boy taking selfies. Last but not least, the scene where the girl comes over and tells me that the boy is a cheater. The scenes that are left to be edited by meare: the main girl and her friends driving around, the scene where the girl throws ice cream at the boy and where the girl is at the park with her friends hanging out. These scenes require a lot of cutting because we made a few mistakes and had to start over numerous times. Since this is a music video, the song has to be imported and edited into the video. There will also be a scene where jocelyn will be lip syncing the chorus part of the song which has to be edited according to her mouth movement. I will also be inserting special effects, for example in the scene where the girl is walking with her friends in the park to make the scene look good quality. From the car driving scene to the park scene, I will add a transition like the dissolve transition to move into the park scene. When editing, we will also be using fade transitions to make the video flow. The scene where the boy leaves to use the bathroom could use a continuity when editing. As soon as the last 6 scenes are ready they will be edited.

Resuming the editing process

Image
Continuing with our film, my group and I have have started editing each of our scenes. There are a total of 60 scenes. Each one of us has at least 12 scenes to edit. Even though there are a few scenes yet to be shot, we have begun to edit the scenes that are completed since there are quite a few. As for me, I have 12 scenes to edit. Beginning with the sharpening knives scene and ending with the mother making tea from the kettle. The first scene that I edited was the knives scene. This scene consisted of a close up shot of the knives indicating that the evil mother is prepping to get on with her sinister plan. Therefore, this scene has a great amount of tensión and suspense as the audience is viewing the dangerous weapon the mom is using for her plan. Which is why I made the lighting of this scene be low key lighting to créate the suspense within the scene. I also made the scene a bit in slow motion to emphasize the mother sharpening the knvies. As for sound, I inserted an eerie creepy ...

Editing process

As the filming journey continues, my group and I have still not finished filming. We have about 3 scenes to film to be able to complete the movie. The scene where Emily and her friend go into the house, the scene where the mom makes Emily fall asleep with the tea, and the ending scene. As I begin my editing process, I am currently still looking over the scenes that I have to edit. I am not able to edit at this moment due to the fact that I am in a different country because of an emergency last minute trip. As I am looking over the scenes, I am writing down ideas to make the film more creative. Also, I am writing down what needs to be edited, for example, what needs to be cut out from the scene. One of my scenes is where the mom is sharpening the knvies. In my opinion, that scene needs to have a bit of low key lighting added along with creepy eerie music since those are dangerous weapons and it leaves the audience at the edge of their set. The next scene is the scene where Emily and Jan...

Filming Review

Image
 My group and I have taken a pause from filming. The last day we filmed was Tuesday, March 23. The next day we film will be the last since we have completed most of the film. To better prepare for our next filming session, I am currently reviewing my role and lines. This way, it will be easier not only for me but for my group. This will help us to not have to reshoot the scene multiple times and take more time than needed. In the scenes that are yet to be filmed, my character has many lines and the acting has to be adeuqate. The scene where Emily drinks the tea, she has to faint and act weak. Practice makes perfect so the more I practice my lines and character, the more unchallenging things will go. Also, I have been looking into the story board my group and I completed. I have crossed out or set aside the scenes we have already completed in the storyboard. I have marked the ones we haven't. Thing I noticed while at our filming sessions was that we tended to look back at the storyb...
