Production: editing

Hi welcome back to my blog! We started editing the film and so far it's coming along really well. We have a lot to talk about so lets get started. 

We already had a specific format in mind for the movie trailer cause of the storyboard and shot list so what we really had to do was line up the shots in order and smooth over transitions and audio.

This is what the format looked like on premiere pro. We added a few clips to the timeline to see how they would look. The different lines on the timeline represent different layers. The layers make it easier to edit when one full clip has to be used in multiple different shots. Layering is also really good for audio as well if multiple sounds will be used on top of each other.

Before we started editing we played around with a bunch of the panels and stuff. There were a lot of cool tools and things that we needed to look through so that we could understand where to go for specific effects.

In the effect controls panels, there were many options for a lot of different things. Almost any type of effect you wanted to add to a clip you could find here. There were different clips that we wanted to scale in, so it was helpful to know here we can do that. We also found the coloring panel.

The coloring panel is actually a lot easier to work with than you would think. Everything is pretty straightforward. They have different scales for general things that you would find on your phone. But they also have a color gradient for tints and color correction.

We were able to get a good amount of clips on the panel today which was good. I feel like we made pretty good progress and learned a lot! Thank you so much for reading. See you next time!
