Editing

Editing day1

Heyy Cambridge!! Two days ago, we went through all our clips for the film opening, and today, we’re finally starting the editing process! Like I said in my last blog post, we don’t have everything filmed yet. We figured it’s better to start editing now instead of stressing later and cramming it all in at the last minute.

Since we’re using Adobe Premiere, we had to watch a couple of YouTube videos to get a better idea of how to use it properly. We know the basics, but there’s still so much we don’t know. Turns out, editing is way more complicated than just cutting clips and putting them together. We learned a lot about organizing the timeline, adding transitions, and making sure everything flows smoothly.

One of the biggest struggles was the audio. It simply didn't sound smooth and natural. Some didn't blend the way we wanted, while others were very choppy. We eventually got it to sound smooth after playing with the settings, adjusting, and adding fades. To get the echoey sound for Piper's scene, we also experimented with reverb and other effects, and after what seemed like forever, we were able to make it work!

Overall, editing has been a combination of excitement and frustration but it's so cool to see everything come together at last. Even though there is still much to be done, we are at least going somewhere!
