EDITING first part

 EDITINGG YAYAYAYAY

I can’t believe I’m already on editing but I’m excited to get it together. So first thing I did was pick the clips that we will for sure be using. 

Creative process

    This is the first very messy draft of the pre-credits and the most important part of our opening. So for this project my partner and I decided to try to edit of different apps to see which effects overlays and everything was better. Victoria is actually in New York this week because it is spring break so since she is far away she is editing on adobe and I am using CapCut. Another reason we decided on this is because if anything goes wrong on either site we have the other to rely on. Even though for this part we each have more creative freedom we are still in close contact sending each other ideas or just things we are missing. Since we cannot edit on a platform together doing it separately allows us to both find ideas and at least have something to work on while we are apart. Also that way one person doesn’t have to do all the editing alone. 

Tools

To make our story come alive we are going to add some effects to give the audience more context. 

Since we want to make it obvious that these are files and someone is watching them, we are gonna use a camera filter called recorder II to embrace that. Another reason we wanted this kind of overlay is so that the audience can read the nam of each character at the top and know who is who for the later scene as well. Another reason I love the camera overlay is because it sets the time period (even though it is a dystopia) and it signifies a difference in the year between Doran’s clips and the files.

To make the tone darker and to get rid of a blinding light I used a filter called warlock. I don’t think I am fully finished with the lighting but I appreciate the tone this filter gives. 

AHH it’s starting to come together and I couldn’t be more excited!
