Production Blog: Lets Polish

Time to Polish.   

  Hello blog, today I am gonna polish the recordings I have made. I are not editing the entire part rather just put together the recordings I was able to get done. I am hoping that these clips blend well and do not clash. What I mean by clash is that they don't fit, and make the big picture irregular. Let's begin the process now.

    First, the general transition is going to be cuts. I might add a fade in but I will decide that when I am editing everything all at once. The first scene is a little longer than anticipated, but that will be okay. I am just going to have the song cut in a little after, which gives the room I wanted for intro credits. When transferring the scenes into the software, I have to mute the ambience so the music is able to be heard.

    Next, I have to edit each scene, and cut out any unnecessary parts. This includes the first couple seconds of the over the shoulder shot. The shot is a little longer than I originally wanted but this gives me room to edit it without having to record again. Now, I have to edit the video so when I make the cut transition, it isn't rough and it flows well. I think I was able to make it smooth enough for a cut transition.

    From the over the shoulder shot, I was able to cut the video as the actress turns her head, so in the next scene when she is looking around, it looks good. I decided to try this again with the boy spying on the girl scene. The only time this did not truly work was at the end of the boy spying on the girl scene. The actress was moving around and then suddenly is still, to finally look around then walk away.  This is okay though, I am still very happy with this result and overall the video is looking very good.
