 1ST DAY EDITING - REVIEW CLIPS

After all the clips were made the team left me to finish all the editing.

But rather than rushing into it I decided to go through all the clips and label which ones I was going to use and discard the ones that I wasn't even going to watch over. This was difficult due to it being our cinematographer's first time holding a camera so a lot of the clips were random shots of her fingers. But after a long night of review the clips were finally in order and organized so I could just drag and drop them into the editing app. 

Now deciding the app was difficult. My strong suit was Final Cut Pro but my teacher insisted on using Adobe Rush. Now Rush was a quicker edit and would get the job done in less time. But I've never used it before. Final Cut would make the edits more precise due to me having all my transitions and effects on there. But this would take longer to edit. 


Subsequently, I chose Final Cut Pro because I have more experience on the platform and I wanted my movie to be better than everyone else.

Longer clips were more prosperous and calm whereas shorter clips created a sense of anxiety.  After remembering this I ensured that the ending where the main character realizes her state of distress would have shorter clips combined into a montage of her trying to escape. I did this by using straight cuts and short clips with changes of perspective. As stated previously the scenes were shot repetitively in different angles for me to choose while editing. But rather than choosing I just incorporated almost all of them to create a state of anxiety within the audience. This was the end product.... Implementing the shot of the "Mother" tapping her fingers on the table and then a dutch angle view of the clock symbolizes that the main character is running out of time. This is shown in the clip right after when sh...

 FINALE - SUMMARY Overall the process of making a film was interesting. We began with a plan that was abruptly changed constantly throughout the film process. My teams creative nature helped us achieve the end goal of a spectacular film in an efficient amount of time. As an actor and editor of the film that didn't limit my role on the team. I had my fair share of participating in everyones role which helped bring the ideal film come to life. But when I had my teams back they had mine. The director made sure everything was completed on time whereas the cinematographer helped by recording hard chess scenes and bringing her vibrant ideas. This collaborative effort helped us develop a great film with deep meaning. Our film was originally going to be about a competition for a job position but that changed into a horror/drama on a woman being killed by her lover. As the chess game goes on the victim keeps making bad moves referencing back to her bad decisions in real life.  The film...
