EDITING

This week we are back in the old editing suites, cutting up the footage we do have in order to make some kind of rough cut for Thursday’s class. Despite thinking we had enough footage upon inspection when I uploaded the clips, I’m not so sure anymore. I know that sounds kind of awful, losing hope this early in the game, but hopefully ill gain some back after the shoot on the weekend at Olivia’s house.

We managed to cut together a few clips from the red screen shoot, as well as some from the green screen. I’m not 100% sure how the video is going to turn out at this stage but as the footage, so far, is of good quality, besides some token, out of focus shots. We should be okay in regards to how the video looks.

I have some slight concerns regarding whether our storyline will transfer to viewers, or if its too confusing to follow with the shots we do have, as our characters change hair and costuming rapidly throughout the shoot, and they can not really be seen int he establishing shots either. Though, I’m sure with some tweaking we will figure it out.

Hopefully, Rohan won’t be too displeased that we weren’t able to create a full rough cut for Thursday’s class, but maybe we will be able to gain some constructive criticism in regards to our footage. I’m looking forward to seeing what the rest of the class has been up to and their own rough cuts. I sometimes have a quick glance which walking through the editing suites, but I haven’t really seen too much of anyone’s work beside our own. I know that everyone’s aesthetic and direction is extremely different, so on Thursday I’m hoping to gain some inspiration and tips from other class members as well.
