editinggggggg

Hi guysss!!!

In the other blog I commented how when you start editing you don't know how to start the clip and how to follow it to tell the story in the right way. After a lot of thinking and trying different clips I decided to start my opening film from a black background to a tight close up shot of my main character's eyes to introduce her. 

Back to props----> In order to have enough garbage and papers, I collected my brother's snacks for a week and put them in a recycling bag. Mainly my brother is the only one who eats unhealthy snacks, so literally every time he ate something I reminded him to put it in the recycling bag. This process was a little gross but you have to do what you need to do, otherwise I would have wasted a lot of food.

I think filming the food and the garbage was a little difficult because my camera was moving a lot but to fix that, when I was editing, what I did was I put the clip on and slowed it down a lot to make the clip smaller and more stable.

Finally, every time I zoomed with the camera it ruined the original sound because you could hear in the clip how the lens moved, as I zoomed in most of the clips I had to remove the sound from all the clips that are in my film and what I will do is to add a mix of foley sounds, copyright free sounds and the sounds that are not ruined from the scenes. Overall I only have to re-record one scene in the whole film that I don't like because i didn't film it in one shot and you can tell when there's a cut which makes it messy and look like a mistake. Im currently on my last day of spring break so I cant re-record it until I get back home from the trip, Overall im really enjoying the process but I hope adding the sounds is not to hard to do.
