Hey guyssss!!! It's been a while but welcome backkkkk!!! I'm so excited for these next two weeks because we are going to be putting all our clips together and finally making our video come to life!!! I cannot wait to see the end product, I'm sooooo excited to edit!!! Ok, enough with the excitement and let's get to the editing.
So, for this first filming portion editing we basically put all the clips together and did some minimal editing. This first filming portion is quite small and the most normal of them all (in terms of lighting and things like that), because Claire is kind of normal in this stage of her lifetime. However, let's dive into our editing process.
First off, we cut the clips and adjusted them to make them flow and fit perfectly throughout this opening scene. Like we've said before, we are editing through DaVinci Resolve, and it is a great program that is very easy to manipulate.
After adjusting the clips, we added the parents fighting clip that we left towards later (yesterday) to film. This part of the clip involved my parents fighting in a clip so I needed to wait for when they were both present and had time to do this short clip. We added this clip into the appropriate section of our video, and adjusted its length so that it fits well.
After doing this, we added sound. The main sound portion for this first filming portion was the parents fighting sounds and the narration. My parents actually (fake) fought with words in the clip that I filmed because we could not find appropriate sound effects online. Additionally, as per the narration, we wrote down a script and then recorded me on Voice Memos on the iPhone saying this script. It was a quick and easy process, especially because DaVinci Resolve worked great in adding sound (better than iMovie).
Finally, our last editing step in this first filming portion was the lighting adjustment. Because in this first editing clip Claire is supposed to be the brightest and happiest of all the 3 stages of her lifetime, their wasn't that much lighting adjustments to make because the lighting in the video was bright enough and was the tone we wanted it to give off. However, we did apply some lighting adjustments in the parents fighting clip that is integrated within this first filming portion scene because we wanted the lighting to appear more dull than the rest of the scene. So, we played around with some filters available on DaVinci Resolve. We also decided to explore some more and looked at Clideo for some more video filters. This website had great filters that helped us demonstrate the duller aspect we wanted to give off in our video. Here is a before and after picture of how the clip changed after applying the filter:

Well, that's a wrap for today! Join me next time where I will be editing the second filming portion!!! I literally cannot wait for next time this is coming along sooooo wellllll AHHH!!!
As always,
