editing


 Hi so after shooting I'm starting to edit. I honestly am not a big fan of editing, I personally like shooting more but I've surprisingly found editing this really relaxing. I really love seeing things come together and bringing my visions to life.

 So I use Premiere Pro to edit, I use Premiere all the time because of TV production so this is not new to me. The first thing is that I am doing a line edit, where I basically just put all the best clips together to form the first cut of the film. Line editing for me is hard because I am very nitpicky but for now, I'm just putting the clips together, and then later I'll deep dive into each frame and make them perfect. I started the line diting with the panic attack scene because that was an easy sequence shot that I had to put together.



The main thing I am worried about when editing is time, I know when shooting I definitely overshot just in case but now as I edit I think everything might be too long. I just did the line edit for just the panic attack scene and it's 40 seconds and the entire thing has to be 2 min so fingers crossed everything works out.  When I finished the line edit the video was 2 minutes and 9 seconds which I am so happy about because I was scared of going over.


After doing my main line edit I went into the nitpicking mode, trimming all my clips to exactly what I wanted and making sure to fix audio mistakes, like someone saying go or to start. After this, I went in and added the sound effects I needed and my music. 

So when it came to the music I looked up on YouTube how to make muffled sounds on premiere because I want the music to sound like it's coming out of her headphones. I found this quick video here that explained it in literally a minute or so and it made my audio just what I wanted.  The tutorial helped me a lot and it was super easy, I messed with it until I got just the sound I wanted.


After all the audio and nitpicky editing it was time to color the project. So the way I usually color my videos is by adding an adjustment layer on top of the line editing and changing the settings until I get the colors I want. Of course, this does bring some problems because some clips are darker than other so after adding the adjustment layer I went in and corrected the ones that were too dark or too light. The overall adjustment layer had pretty simple setting, I turned up the vibrance and turned down the exposure to get that gloomy film look but also having lots of colors.


After all this, the only thing my video is missing is the voiceover from the parents and the teacher which I'll be getting later today, I'll check in with you after.
