I'm back and posting this from Brasil! The past week has been hectic, but very exciting. Unfortunately, I have been very busy and therefore have not been able to commence the editing of my two minite film opening. Yet, I see light in this. As I became increasingly stressed over the project, I realized that there were a multitude of aspects I had to complete before actually beginning to edit. Of course, these tasks have proven themselves to be much smaller and simpler than the overall process; however, I see them as crucial nonetheless.
The main aspect I have been focusing on is the careful selection of what clips and videos will actually appear in my two minute film opening. While shooting my project, I captured a minimum of three clips for each part of the opening. For example, the bathroom scenes all have multiple takes. I did this in an attempt to ensure that I would have enough footage to choose from and enough to where I would be fond of at least one. As a result, it was necessary for me to rewatch all the videos and select the final ones for my project.
I find that this process will simplify my editing journey and allow for the overall task to take place in a calm, organized manner. It has been very interesting to view my piece from a representational perspective; of course, I hope and have been careful to select the videos that I feel elicit my character in the manner designed for her. This task has also allowed me to realize how meticulous the editing process actually is, and has grown a new fondness for the post-production job in my eyes.
I am excited to begin putting everything together!
