production blog: editing away

Hello! Today is our second to last day of editing and it was jam packed. the first step was for jordyn to edit in all of the titles. to do this we had to choose the perfect fonts, which aja and i helped pick out. after we talked, we decided to have the fonts fade in and out to simulate my charactor's memory loss. we chose to use a white font, which i thought would be an issue. once jordyn edited it in though, it looked great and she made sure it wouldnt get lost in any clip. After we got all of the titles edited in, we started to incorporate all of the new clips gotten from yesterday’s filming session. Jordyn cut them to the correct length, and put them in order into the editing software. now it was time for me to add in the scores, but jordyn struggled with this. it was hard to get the sound to come in smoothly and leave just as so. some even needed to be redone and lengthened to fit the scenes. then we watched the scenes with the added music, but decided some of the music was too loud. to fix this jordyn went in to the sound bar for the scores and lowerted the individual. after we re-watched, it sounded much better and didnt take away from any of the actual plot. all in all, todays editing sesh was long and tedious, but relativley important for the film.
