Editing

hey GIF

Hello!
In this post, I want to share some information with you all about editing. 
I don't know how much one can say this but, editing requires patience!!

Film editing can be described and referred to as an art or skill. A highly skilled film editor can be engage the viewer so much that he or she is not aware of the editors cuts, crops, etc. This is something I drive for when editing the footage from our opening.

My partner and I finished filming on Wednesday the 4th of April. I have been editing ever since and i'm still not done! editing takes a very long time and it would be wise to give yourself a decent amount of time to gather all those clips together exactly as you want them.

You can also, as your editing, discover that you have missing footage, need to reshoot a clip, etc. This is why getting your editing done with a decent amount of time before the deadline is ideal. My partner and I tried doing this and I would say we mostly succeeded.

and i also haven't stopped editing! As i'm typing this post i'm still going back and forth and editing our opening. Im so excited to show it to you guys! You wont be ready >:)

We also plan to use a coloring program on my partners computer to also add to the ominous tone. The song I've added that I mentioned  in my last post also really helped convey the tone we chose. Im so relieved that everything is coming together and this project is almost done!!

Our song!

Happy Saturday y’all!

happy will ferrell GIF


The process to find a song that fit perfectly for our opening was very difficult. My partner and I spent hours trying to find a song and it took a lot of searching but we finally found it.

This is it:
https://www.killertracks.com/#!/results.aspx?pageNo=1&resultsPerPage=20&viewTags=1&mode=work&sortFilter=Default|Desc&keyword=714973&keywordType=1


I found this song to convey an ominous and gloomy tone, and i feel that it fits beautifully with the mood we are trying to get the audience to feel.

We retrieved it from a website called Killertracks.com. This website is an extremely handy tool that allows you to search a specific type of genre, characteristic, etc. of any type of song or piece of media. This site was a great help in finding the exact song my partner and I were trying to find to include in our opening to make it more ominous.

Other than that, we’re almost done! We’re almost finished with the editing and i am starting to plan my CCR.
A CCR is a creative critical reflection where I’m going to be talking to you guys and answering questions about my journey and the ups and downs.

Finally finishing our filming!

Hello gorgeous guys and gals!

bom dia hello GIF by DNCE

Last week was stressful for my partner and I with the bumps in the road, but i'm extremely happy to say that we have finished filming!!

It feels so good to have that weight lifted off our chest. We have also started editing and im so ecstatic to see the turnout.

Editing is an extremely long process so, I have been taking a couple hours out my days to edit our project. My friend, Dakota Benca, whom is also doing the film opening project, finished filming 2 weeks ago and has been editing ever since and still isn't done. So much goes into editing and the process of it all and the people who do it are so unappreciated. I bow down to editors of films, media and more. To be an editor requires a lot of patience.



Here are a couple pictures from our process:



These are just a few shots that will be featured in our opening. The first photo A lot of these shots I and my partner took and hand held. We did a good job for the most part in keeping the camera steady and at the perfect angle.  It took us about 6 hours to finish filming and boy were we tired after!


Thanks for following our journey so far,

Were almost done but as always,

Thanks for reading,

More to come, 

Peace out :)

Problems and Solutions!

Hello to you beautiful people!


I hope your Sunday was spent well but my partner and I have a little update.

Our actor from before, Connor:


















Was unable to act for us in our film opening due to an emergency and his inflexible schedule.
The person who was also going to help us film also became extremely busy and had to back out.
:(

These few mishaps did scare me and Taylor Wolf. We were very worried that we were not going to find another actor for our opening within an reasonable time frame to edit and re-film if needed. We quickly started asking around and thinking about our options.

Our new actor, Nick Constantin, a good friend of mine, popped into my head and couldn't imagine a better person for this role.
This is him! :





















He fits the role that my partner and I want to portray PERFECTLY and i'm extremely relieved that his schedule is flexible and he was willing to participate.

This past week has been very stressful for my partner and I but i'm glad that me and her work together so well and are able to solve these problems and an efficient and swift manor.


Thanks for following our journey so far,

More to come,

Peace Out :)

Thats all folks!
