Editing Process

-
Now that I got all my filming done (or so I hope, I still need to review all the shots I took) I need to start editing. Just like ant skill, before getting good i need to know the basics. I decided to take the next few days to learn how to edit, by watching tutorials and trying to edit some old videos I have on my phone.

My good friend Daniel told me he uses "Final cut pro" to edit but others tend to use "IMovies" because its easier to learn. Since I dont own a mac and only have an iphone, I decided I should learn how to use final cut pro! After some research, I found out final cut pro was also for Mac computers... very disappointed. I searched and found a good one called Filmora and I will search tutorials for this editing software and how to navigate it!

This week I will learn how to edit and start the process for my film.

I started the editing process and got around 1 hour in before my computer shut down randomly... I lost all my work. This week has not been my week at all. So after crying for about 15 minutes I got back to work and now that I had an idea on what i wanted it would be easier. I couldn't get  as much of it as I already had, but this is what I finished. I personally dont like how the audio sounds and want to fix it, I also dont like how the opening feels bland and forced, not as smooth as I wanted it.  I will fix all of these bumps throughout the week but im very disappointed I could barely get any actual progress done on my film, this means I have to work double as hard the rest of the time I have.  (I also found out very late in the editing process that I need to pay for this editing service and if I dont it puts a HUGE water mark in the middle of my film...this pissed me off... a lot.)

Color and story planning!

-
Color is one of the first things I try to look out for in a film, it gives a sense of past, present, and future of the character or scene. Over the last few days I have been looking at color and the tone/ mood I want to set for my film. the film is comical but also about a high school relationship. To compliment the love aspect i decided warm colors once the protagonist meets her crush, and faded bland colors before. but as for color correction it will be warm and give off almost like a foreign film vibe. But what i cant seem to get down are the colors im assigning to each character. I read and saw a video essay about Edgar Wright (I know i keep bringing him up but he has influenced how i see comedy a lot over the years) and it explained how he assigns colors to his characters.  Link to video essay   I felt that the main character should be red, from dark red before the crush and almost a pink after the crush to show passion. The father should be grey to symbolize his gloomy e...
