Editing Blog: we re-edited our film

We began re-editing process on Tuesday. There were quite a few issues with editing that we needed to resolve. Between our group and the peer review group, there were many considerations. Some of these included lighting, clarity, and transitions. Lauren and I made it a point to correct as many of these as we could.

The first thing we did was try to fix the titles. We had them all, but they weren’t evenly spaced and they also weren’t in proper order. We decided to fix this by moving the titles over and rearranging them, but this quickly became an issue due to the fact that we still needed to reshoot. Unfortunately, not all of our takes were up to par and cannot be used in our final presentation. This will cause for reshooting. In order to avoid being redundant, we didn’t include those titles. I feel like this portion would have been more productive if we had sorted out which title goes on which shot again though, just to be clear. We also tried to change the fonts in order to get the contrasting theme that we wanted. This was also an issue however for the same reason, and we could not put them all in.

Our group also worked on lighting. We decided to use iMovie as opposed to Pinnacle Studios because it’s more user friendly and can be used at home and school. While experimenting with the app, I discovered that it allows users to change the lighting through filters. We intend to use this, but it was hard to do it in a way that doesn’t make it seem too overbearing. It would have been better to have done the lighting better from shooting, but it’s unnecessary to include it in reshoots. Sound was something that we also corrected: we had an issue with the previous sound we had found and couldn’t use it. Today, however, we found an exemplary sound that completely envelopes the mood we were going for.
