Re-Edit Blog

     For the past few days my group member and I have been working on mostly the editing portion of our final project. We focused mainly on the title sequence and timings per scene. It was minor errors but we still wanted to perfect it. Again it has been difficult for me and my partner to physically work together on one computer. COVID-19 has made our project much more difficult. Facetime has been very helpful to talk over what we need to fix. Since our re-shoots were a fail due to the president saying we should stay inside we have to edit to the best of our abilities. We planned on re-shooting for certain types of lighting but thankfully, iMovie has a feature to change certain lighting and colors. We also wanted to re-shoot for the sound to make the noises louder and more suspenseful. We decided to add sound affects for the scenes such as car slamming, the trunk slamming, and the boy getting hit in the head. We have also had to work on the camera angles and movements. After we did an activity where another student checked our film we realized we have a couple movements we didn’t include. Me and partner went back in and tried to use iMove and other editing softwares to try to add more angles and movements. As for titles we have included everything that is required. We have also been able to search for and include incidental music to change the mood in our film. For the beginning we used a soft song to represent a light mood when everything is okay. Then a hardcore song once the villains get to the couple. We want the audience to feel different emotions when watching this, so the music is very helpful when it comes to this. We will continue to add more features to make our video greater with the power of editing. My partner and I are so far proud of our work for all we have put into it.
