Editing: First Day of Post Production

-

 The first thing that I did during post production was place the clips in order in Final Cut Pro (my editing software). Doing this took a while due to us having hours of footage and having to intercut scenes such as when the main character is looking at the "film crew", exit sign and hidden camera. This particular scene was shot on 2 separate occasions. The way I accomplished this editing technique was by taking the close ups shots of the camera crew, main character, exit sign, and hidden camera and intercutting the contrasting shots to make one composite scene. 

This idea was stemmed from an episode in Teen Titans Go where they had an alternative reality of shots showing them looking at their past selves through a TV and breaking the fourth wall. Even though in that clip they used cross fades rather than straight intercutting the concept stemmed from that due to us having the main character break the fourth wall similarly to them.

While reviewing the Teen Titans Go clip I learned how to take concepts and editing styles and apply it to my own film. Doing this assisted my creative process and helped me during editing.

Editing: CLIP LENGTH

 One of the things that re surfaced my brain while editing was the effect of clip length. Earlier in the year we learned how clip length can effect the audiences feelings. 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...
