Editing Explained

                                   

I had a lot of fun making my film and casting my actors. I carefully thought about my set design, costumes, and even how the characters looked. I wanted everything to have a particular about captivating my audience. 

I had a few troubles when filming, including figuring out how to set the camera. Many images came out blue at first because I didn't know how to fix the white balance when the camera was in recording mode. That was the first thing I had to edit constantly and try to improve. 

It didn't work out, and I ended up recording a few scenes repeatedly until I figured out how to fix it. After the pictures were brighter, I still didn't like the colors. They didn't feel very somber but were very bright instead. 

I went on canva and changed all the colors to black and white. I did this for at least the first two minutes of the scene because the first perspective was darker than the second. When it came to the second perspective, I wanted brighter colors. I settled for the blue and greenish tones just because they separated the two points of view. 

Another issue I had when it came to editing was getting clean cuts. Throughout my short film, my characters are constantly moving and are in different locations, so I had to cut multiple times and find a way to edit to the point where it was a smooth transition and not too harsh. 

I also used a few elements in canva which included fade-in and out settings. I also used dissolve and set them to be implemented for a few seconds at a time between each cut or change in the film. I also had to edit the sound to fit correctly because the background noise would sometimes cover it.
