The Struggle Is Real...

 Sunday, March 26, 2023

Hey guys, 

Today my partner and I pretty much finished editing the entire film opening!! It was a long process but now that we figured out how to overcome obstacles and used google to help us navigate through Premiere Pro, we were able to do it and figure out how to fix our mistakes!! We only made about 65 mistakes, but that's okay! It is a part of the process and it was really fun to be able to edit together and figure this out as a team.

So we began by editing the clips, finalizing the order, and adjusting the speed to some of them as some went by way too quickly and others were way too slow. When we did that, we um... accidentally deleted the entire project which was in one word scary! We released it on auto-save thankfully and were able to access the project. Scariest 5 minutes of our lives...

For example, the shot below when Carinne (me) was opening the closet door was too quick at a speed of 100% so we edited it to 80% to make it a tiny bit slower. 
We realized that some of the sounds we made when filming just were out of place and did not sound right so we went on google and decided to look up royalty-free sounds to prevent using any sounds that were protected or not able for public use. See below :) We added in sounds such as heartbeats, footsteps, and opening and closing doors.
Additionally, we layered several sounds to ensure that the flow of the project and the sounds were synchronized and were all edited to make sense with each movement and clip we inserted into the film.
Through Canva, we have been trying to find the best font to match the theme of our film. We came up with the film name "American Nightmare" !! We felt it makes the most sense since Carinne is having a nightmare in the opening and since she was coming from another country as an exchange student, we felt it made the most sense!!

Here are some more photos from today :)))
