Production: editing

 Still editing the film so let's get into it!

One of the coolest parts of this film, is getting to edit and create the different transitions. We started with the mirror transition. This is where Jessi and Jackson are both getting ready and the camera goes behind Jessi's head and comes out of Jackson's head. In order to make it smooth, we had to scale in Jessi's shot so that it could look similar to Jackson's. To do this we had to add a key frame and increase the scale as the shot progresses.

This caused the to be pulled in a little bit during the scene, but I actually like the effect it added. It made the whole transition a lot smoother too.

The next transition we worked on, was the closet transition. This is when Jackson goes to his closet to pick out his clothes and as he is about to split open his clothes, the shot cuts to behind Jessi's clothes as she splits them open. This scene was a lot easier to work with. We just had to align them up and cut it so that it was smooth. We also kept the audio of Jessi opening the clothes so that you could hear the hangers sliding on the rack.

It was another really successful editing day. Editing the transition scenes taught me a lot about cutting and also how to scale in a scene. Thank you so much for reading, see you in the next blog!
