Editing Blog: Team V.S. Sound

     I've talked a lot in my previous blogs on our editing experience because honestly, it's been the most tedious past of this whole film. Just when I think were finished, something happens that has opening the editing app for that "one last time." Today for example, we thought we were going to have an easy class to just review until we realized the titles were not the right colors and some played to short. While this may have been a straight forward fix, our next issue was not so simple. For the titles, we went in, changed the colors, and made the clips longer. The sound on the other hand, had us reverting back to the drawing board and trying to find new no-copyright music. After listening to the film with headphones in, it wasn't hard to realize that the different songs did not flow well together. That and some of the songs were almost like a joke in the positions where they are. Alone, the music sounded good in the occasion but when we were sitting there listening to it, we knew it had to change. Luckily, we had some other pieces of music previously saved from when we first were trying to find music. We only had to get one new song for a piece for the film. After inverting the newly positioned and changed music into the film, it sounded more professional. I think it's safe to say however that there's still a lot more work needed in that category. In one of my last blogs, I talked on our availability when it came to the re-shoot. Paige was able to get this weekend free'd up so now we are planning to use this weekend to our advantage. We don't plan on filming large parts of the film again because that's just not needed. We are however going to re-film some of the small flaws we found. We have good things planned but i'll save that for a new blog. Until then, we will continue to edit the shots we have and have it stay a well, first constructed film. Our last intentions is to go backwards in progress. We will continue our momentum forward while at the same time, tweak the obviously flawed components.
