Production blog - editing time

 After filming we of course have to edit our video together so it flows smoothly. We choose Daniel to stitch the video together since he had all the videos on his phone. He also used an editing software to change the color scheme of the video to black and white. This was too match the aesthetic of the original music video. We realized while editing we will have to redo some scenes but we decided to do that later. The most important part however, is getting the scenes that were meant to be filmed individually. Since some scenes were supposed to be “flashbacks” and we couldn’t really film the flashbacks at the location. This was because the actor supposed to be in the flashbacks couldn’t make it. Besides filming the flashbacks I personally had to film a scene by myself in a tree with a guitar. I borrowed my brothers guitar since that was all I had at the time. I used this plus a random tree I found in my backyard to quickly film the scene. I sent the video to Daniel so he could edit it in. Daniel used the app CapCut since it’s a free app that is easy to use and works pretty well. We had all the features we needed to do everything we wanted. However, it was a little annoying to export the video onto a computer. It would constantly bug out while exporting and be stuck infinitely loading. But after around 30 minutes we got it to work and we got the video on a computer. After we got the video uploaded on a computer we used CapCut more since it is easier to use on a computer. Before we decided to call it done we all reviewed the footage a couple times. We made a few small changes but we aren’t completely finished since we need to redo some scenes.
