Editing Blog- Continuation

    This is a continuation of the journey of my final project. Today I continued editing my film, and everything went well for the most part. I was able to get about half of my film almost completely edited. Following the peer review of my film, I know that I still need to reshoot a couple scenes. Also, much more editing is needed until I can turn my final in. While I was editing, I realize that there are a few outside shots where the wind is pretty loud, so I may need to reshoot those scenes. I was able to, however, edit most of the scenes that took place either inside or didn't have too much diegetic sound. One thing I began doing was adding titles to my film. These are important as they are essential to every title sequence of a film. I needed to make the decision in which fonts to use for each corresponding title. 

    For example, I used one font for the actors' names, and I used a different font for the title of the movie. This gives off a greater significance to the name of the movie, as it is the of the most important aspects of the title sequence. In addition to this, I also was able to add music to my film. This is vital to my opening sequence as it sets the tone for the rest of the film. I chose a spooky soundtrack to set an ominous, creepy feel to the movie. Plus, the opening sequence prepares the audience for the film, so everything about the title sequence is vital. Alongside adding music and preparing titles, I also cut more clips. I did this during the beginning of the editing process, but cutting clips are becoming an everyday process at this point. The next thing I need to work on for the editing is fading clips into each other. The flow of the opening sequence is important as it must be quick, but also efficient.
