Editing Problems Already

     This week, after getting all of the footage from what we filmed on Sunday, I was able to combine the clips to get a basic idea of how the film opening would look.

    I didn't add every voiceover, as I was just trying to get an idea of the videos. When I give the video to Lucia, it will most likely only include the sounds from dialogue; everything else she can add through foley or a sound effect library. Next week, we'll come up with every sound effect to add and where, so the editing process is much easier.

    My problem is after cutting a few of the clips, it actually turned out to be under 2 minutes, instead it ends around 1:45. This is ironic, since originally I was worried everything would add up to be too long and look rushed. However, what I also noticed towards the end is that we FORGOT to add a clip in between Mara staring at the mirror and Valerie walking into the bathroom! I said I was going to come up with a way to fix this and never did. After discussing with Andrea and Lucia, we came up with making a more obvious reference to Mara's letter in between, implying that the letter has to do with what is about to happen.

    Even though this is another problem that we faces, it helps with the other problem. With this close up, it adds to the time. If this clip doesn't get us to two minutes, I'll simply extend a few of the clips that we already filmed. The reason why it's shorter than I expected is because I cut the videos by a lot to make sure it's not too long. Extending the video will simply make the video a slower pace, which is honestly not bad at all.

    Now that we're in post production, I'll need to research the best fonts to use for our opening and where we should put each text. With this, the text messages, and Lucia's audio editing, we'll most likely be finished soon!
