Continuing with our group, Jaden, Joey and I explored editing this week, from our footage on cinematography/performance last week. The issue is we didn’t create this video with editing in mind so we kind of messed up there, but I still think it’ll work out. Hopefully. We did do in camera transitions when shooting it and I have a plan to pause the video and insert a voice over, so some post-production elements will play into making it subversive in it’s editing.

The hard thing for me is how much these topics overlap, how cinematography plays into editing and editing plays into narrative, etc. I suppose the point is to focus on the one element and for the others one’s to not takeaway from or overpower it. I do think I had higher expectations for the pieces we’d be making but it’s hard with setting accessibility, time constraints and differing ideas, as well as the fact that we’re acting in our pieces and that feels like it immediately subtracts value from the video. But that’s just me being pedantic.

I am looking forward to seeing the end results, and I feel that we have clear understanding when it comes to thought behind our videos, and that’s important, it will also make writing the 200 word blurbs easier. I’d like to continue with this group in the future to make bigger productions, I think we work well in enabling each others ideas as well as morphing them together to make new ones. There’s no creative clashes or lack of contribution, I am thankful for that.

PEACE OUT
