Editing

Image
I have already started editing the first scene. But i need to complete it. Today i did a lot of editing. I however could not finish it. I did make serious headway. I started working soon after i woke up. i placed the first video into the editin software. I relized a problem i would have is that i cant email myself more then one video at a time. This is a probelm becuase it means the process would take more time. After eamiling myself the videos, and laying them into the software i watched to see how the clips trasistion. Some worked some were not smooth. The next thing i did was make sure everything transiitioned smoothly. Another probelm i noticed was the audio, with the music and sounds from the clips, there were things you could not hear. To fix this i had to add sound effects, adn seprerate the sounds from the clips. I had to equalize the sounds. As well as mix the volumes to match. Once i did this i watced the video over again. And again. And again. I noticed a problem i had was t

Completing the filming

We knew it was about time that we completed the filming process. Over spring break we had time to accomplish everyhting we cold not do previosuly. Now all that is left is to edit. In this fiming part we had to shoot the scenes with sydni. This was diffcult for many reasons. one was that it had to match the length of the scenes with trevor on the phone. It also had to line up with it. So that the conversation will be in sync. This is becuase when editing i will make it a split screen with both clips playing at the same time. This will give the effect that they are on the phone with each other. This is one way i am trying to set our movie aprat from the others. I also reviewd all the clips we had. I made sure that the final project would be long enough. I was worried it was not going to be. To fix this, i added another couple scenes just incase that werent on the story board. I had to film these scenes by myslef. It was not a problem though i manged to get them done. I also gathered my g

Starting the editing process

Today i starting the editing process. I began it by first doing research. I had to reasecrh what editing software would be thebest to use. Multiple scenes needed a split screen so i had to factor that in to. I also needed an option that did not cost money. On previous projects i used Imovie. How ever to complete the image we are going for with this movie we need to use tools imovie does not have. So i had to weigh out other options. There are many editng softwares avalible online. After looking through online and assesing my own values to it. I decided to go with Lightworks. Then the next part was learning how to use the software. Becuase of my history with i movie i had to learn a new software. TO do this i watched youtube tutorials. After learning the basics like how to add videos and sound. Then i had to learn a major part of the process for me. How to create the split screen look. To do this, first you need to increase the number of tracks. Then you remove auto track sync. Then jus

Starting the process

Today we begun the production of the fil. This includes the fliming of the movie. Today was our first day filiming. This used all four of our member. Sydni and trevor are acting. Ben films. And I direct. I am in charge of the creative aspects of the film. I use my vision and tell my group members what to do. Of course they have an equal say to. But they normally go with my idea. With this job have to remeber not to get to bossy. The first scenes we filmed were easy to film for a couple reasons. The weather was nice. As well as the area we filmed being empty. We completed these scenes very timely. The first scene were taken at the playground. The next were taken at a house. These were a little mor complicated. Due to camera angles that take more skill, we had to spend more time on it and could not complete all of the scenes.
