Production Blog- Editing Day Three!

 What's up gang?

Camila and I finished up our editing today, although more work is still to be done. Before today, we had finished the ordering of the clips and putting them together. We made sure that they were cropped enough so each clip would flow into each other. After this, we added in the titles needed. Each title assigned to each clip needed a different size according to what the contents of the shot were. However, the font remained the same in each clip.

At the end of our last blog, we stated that we would be looking for our soundtrack currently. We have decided to leave that for a bit longer, as we are finding trouble finding the perfect sounds for it. We are also having issues trying to mute certain clips, so we decided due to technical difficulties, the addition of music could wait.

We dedicated the editing today to the editing of the filters to go over certain shots. In Thriller movies, there are usually the same looks of certain shots. The scariest, most suspenseful shots, usually have darker lighting to go with it. Camila and I went into each of the clips, and progressively made each clip darker, leading up to the mic drop moment of the film. This process took very long overall, but it was worth it.

The editing of the clips with filters really added to the ambiance of the entire film. It made it more serious looking, and could hint to the eventual show of what the secret of the film was. The only thing left to do is add the sound track now. This will really take the unsettling feeling that the film portrays to the next level. 

Until then, thank you for watching our process!
