Editing Blog: Day off



 Today I edited our short film. Because I did not go to school today, I had spare time to add a little touch to our short film. Even though I would not consider myself a professional in editing or dealing with editing software, I still tried because I had enough time to help out my team. First I started out by adding sound effects, for this, I went on to youtube and searched for non-copyright music. This was to avoid the copyright strike as plagiarizing someone's music is quite bad, it's stealing the arts that they had worked hard for produced by their talent. I added this music to bits and pieces of our film, mostly I looked for pop background music because our film was mostly coming to age/pop-like film. Then I looked at the color. since our film takes place during the daytime and is a coming to age pop-like film I did not edit the color too much. As I thought it was fitting for our film to have that nice daytime look to it. It was a little time-consuming as I had something else to do too but seeing the final product that I edited was satisfying. Even though I only tweaked a little it turned out that small thing does make a big difference.

editing blog: Cut it

 Today my group is editing our short film. When we initially edited our short film it was 2 minutes but after multiple production blogs, we have now reached 5:22 minutes. This exceeds the short film time, so for our editing today we will be cutting down on our scenes. we started out by trying to shorten our short film by scenes. when we evaluated the scenes we saw that some parts could indeed be cut out or shortened, so I went by each scene choosing whether to add that part or not to our final product. While my other teammates did other editing jobs. Because we had school and could not meet up we mainly edited online. Each team member had different jobs so the editing was faster than usual. Even though we did editing online as a backup, it still worked well for us. there were no major issues and I feel like this way of editing is better for everyone in our team as we don't have to go anywhere, all being introverts with parents that have different schedules. Overall we did cut down

CR

  The Old friend was inspired by past friendships and drama genre films, we are trying to portray a  toxic friendship between two teens that are trying to rekindle. Representing the struggles of toxic  friendships, and relationships that are harmful, damaging, and draining. They can be just as  harmful as toxic romantic relationships and may leave you feeling anxious, depressed, or just  generally unhappy. Toxic friendships often involve one person who is controlling, manipulative,  or emotionally abusive, and may involve a power dynamic where one person is dominant over  the other. In teenage years these friendships are most likely to happen to lead to regret for their  actions in the long run.  My film aims to address the harm that these relationships can do to both participants. On one  hand, one friend felt extremely sad, hurt, and left out of this friendship. While on the other hand,  the other friend felt guilty about treating their friend badly. Overall, toxic friendships are a

Editing Blog: success is in the journey

 Because last time i finishes almost all of the editing there was less to do. Today i tried to sync the video more to the music. I wanted the kick of the bucket to sync with the beat drop at the start of the lyrics. Making the lyrics match up to the action of acting like a rich girl. After all of the adjustments and trying to pause different parts to fit it. It was not successful. After many tries, i realized that it did not affect the music video that much. However i do believe it would've been satisfying to see and hear the start of the lyrics matching. Though the music video does look good. I am proud of myself and Naturelle for filming the video on time and early sowe did not stress at the last minute. I was nervous about the scheduling at the beginning. But after talking we set out available dates even though both of us were busy half of the times. I am happy everything workout in the end. I hope others enjoy the video too.
