Editing Blog

 Today is April 4th, 2022. Today is the second part of editing the clips we filmed so far. Being the director and the editor is turning out to be really helpful. The insight that goes on in my head, and the vision I have before every scene, makes editing very easy. Basically, while editing I can make the project look exactly how I envisioned it in my head. Today, I had to keyframe the roof scene into the scene of me running away from Juan, the zombie. The scene of Juan getting hit had to be sped up, because while filming I didn't swing hard enough to actually hurt him, and so speeding up that scene makes it look like, Merlin (M.C) is actually hurting the zombie, Juan. One problem I had while editing was that I accidentally deleted the music portion, and I didn't have the music file saved. I had to go into my YouTube history and filter out the royalty free music that I used for the project. This was not that difficult, but mixing it in with the dialogue and voiceover, proved a nuisance. Although a nuisance, a short 10 minutes, and the problem was fixed. One other thing I would have to add to the film, was a filter to make the flashback NOTICEABLE and so the viewer can tell it is a flashback. There was also a portion of the film where I had to edit out a sound that we didn't want to be heard. It was a little hard, as the sound was very brief but loud, but it wasn't a problem.
