The Newsroom
October 17, 2023
Synopsis – The Newsroom follows Sarah, a news anchor who after an encounter gone wrong with James Baker, a famous men’s rights activist, begins to be haunted by taunting visions, slowly culminating in a reveal of just what happened that fateful night.
My Role in the film was editor and sound guy, so I was in charge of operating the boom mic and recording all audio during production along with being the main person in charge of the editing process. As the sound guy I had to ensure that all the audio was of a high quality, which involved getting myself into the best position to record audio while also being out of the shot. Though there were a few hiccups in the end the sound recording was successful. When it comes to my creative process as the editor I mainly wanted to create an uneasy atmosphere and really engrain the audience into the headspace of Sarah. It took a few rounds of editing to really nail these feelings but in the end, using the footage we had I think My group and I ended up being quite successful in creating this atmosphere.
What I learnt the most was refining my skills in Premiere Pro, as beforehand I had some knowledge but now It really feels like I know way more, though there is way more for me to learn in the future.
