Editing Part 1- Lets Finish This Damn Thing!

 Editing Part 1


Welcome back vlog to this new series of ...


Let's Finish This Damn Thing!


In this series I will hope to Finish This Damn Thing. This is the final stage of finishing the film opening, so I am ready to reach the end of the journey! I have started to use Adobe Premiere Pro because of the help of my friend Male. Male and I hung out the day before I left to Manhattan because I was a bit worried about how I would use Adobe if I didn't have too much experience with it, at least using it for the purposes I intended. So, we hung out and she explained several things from how to operate Adobe and apply shortcuts to how to color grade.

Here is a picture of a notes collection I made while she was explaining information:




With this information, I began to edit in Adobe Premiere Pro! As of now, I have started to edit the dialogue, not going straight into setting/NYC montage because I want to see  how much time the dialogue portion takes up so I can decide how long to make the montage. Here are a few of the clips I am using for the dialogue sequence:




                                                                         Problem: 

One problem that I ran into was that in some takes of the actors, they did some adlib so whenever I tried to mix some clips or get continuous shots from different angles, it would be hard to make it look smooth or like one take because there would be different dialogue in each take. I am working around this by choosing cuts that look the most similar.

Moving forward:

Moving forward I will continue to edit and keep finishing up on layering sounds and cutting up the clips accordingly!
