Hey guys! Today I will be talking about the start of our editing process for the last and longest filming portion, and also give a long-awaited film reflection for the last filming portion (where Claire is 18 years old and moving out). Without further ado, let's begin.
So for today, our editing process is similar to yesterday (just longer because there are more clips). We started off by cutting the clips to the appropriate length so that they flow correctly. Next, we edit sound. For this filming portion, there are two primary sound edits that we have to make. The first involves the first song while Claire is still in her bedroom, and the second involves the second song when Claire is in the car, leaving with her friend. Both of these songs are in the same genre (rock) because it helps to establish the mood for Claire's older self that we want to exhibit. We got both of these songs from Royalty Free Music because, just like the last filming portion, we emailed a company and asked if we could use songs by famous groups like Metallica, but they did not respond. So, we used this website which is the same as good! The two songs we picked are Power Grab and Power of Balance. After editing this into the appropriate clips in our video, we were done with the music aspect (was an easy process because we had recently done it with the last filming portion). However, when filming the clip where the second song is supposed to go (in the car), we actually played the music in the car because we wanted to compare which option sounded better. We are still debating these two ideas because they both have disadvantages and advantages, but will resolve it after we are done editing the full video (after next blog), because we want to see how both options hears in relation to the whole, complete video.
quick glimpse at our editing work for today:
That was all the editing we did today. Next time we will be finishing the editing for this third filming portion. This will include adding some lighting filters to the part where the parents are shown (similar to the first editing portion), and other details that we will finish. Now let's move on to the longly awaited filming reflection! HA!
This third filming portion was definitely the funnest to produce for me. I really enjoyed it because it involved more creative shots than the other scenes. We did not encounter any major problems while shooting these clips, but we changed a few things or added other things to make our video better. For example, when shooting the outside portion of this filming section, we added some clips like a shot of the tires as they are about to move, or the shifter as they shift towards the "go" position. This helped add the appeal that the car was leaving faster and not coming back, also adding a rebellious appeal to the video, which we really wanted to show in this last filming portion. Overall, it was a great production and it worked out very nicely. Here are some examples of the special shots we added:
