After a successful filming session where we were able to effectively get shots that went up to the end of the house scene, which is about half of our film, we are ready to begin editing.
Me and Samuel took the time and combed through all the takes we filmed and picked out the best one for each shot and scene considering how they would mesh to form a cohesive film without harsh cuts.
We then went into Adobe Premiere Pro and imported all of the clips and placed them into the sequence in order for better organization.
I then went clip by clip and trimmed the takes to only show the acting cutting out long spaces between dialogue and manipulated audio to remove clicking or excessive background noise.
After putting all of the clips into the timeline and trimming them to create a continuous clip, I added visual filters to shots to change the tone of the film, I based the filter off of a preset visual filter in Premiere Pro, then color corrected the filter and lowered the exposure to create a more cinematic look, as well as a more grungy, dark look that fits our genre.
This visual filter allows us to subtly change the tone of the film and allows us to bypass limitations, specifically the time of filming which did not allow for low key lighting as the sun was making the shot too bright.
This process tested my creative and technical elements as I had to recall how to use certain features in Premiere Pro and apply them creatively like fading in shots or syncing cuts between clips to line up shots and avoid harsh jumps. I personally enjoyed this process, and I had been looking forward to editing since we began the research process. Now as a team we will watch the first part of our opening and make any revision as we prepare to film the second part.
