Editing

Welcome back!

Today, Gaby and I drove home with Maria after school to edit and finish our project at her house.

We started off by downloading all of our videos to Maria's computer. We than played them out and began thinking of a chronological order to place our videos in. Since we have so much footage, it wasn't necessary to use all the videos and like said in a previous blog post, we usually come up with an exact storyline after filming.

We decided that the best editing software to use would be iMovie. We downloaded it to Maria's computer and off we started!

Believe it or not, this took much longer than expected. The editing of the videos became complicated and we realized we had to coordinate it with the beat of the background song. This is when we realized the choosing of the song would probably be the best start.

After searching online for copyright free background songs, we came across a perfect one. It fitted both the running scenes and the indoor, stalker scenes perfectly!

From here, things became much easier. We were able to easily set things in order and create our final film opening "Paradox"!

We did however encounter a small problem. We weren't really sure how to display our credits.

 We than started viewing film openings until we came across The American Horror Story's It was perfect! We fell in love with the way they showed random flashes of the credits so we decided to incorporate something similar in our film opening.

Until next time!
