2/7 Reflection + Changes

 It’s such a rewarding feeling to finally see the end results of all our planning and work. After editing all the footage together we made a few changes. After chronologically sorting the footage, we had an extra 30 seconds of footage that we had to somehow get rid of. So we deleted the phone scene because unfortunately we did not capture the driver throwing it out the window so it didn’t make much sense to keep it in,  and a lot, A LOT of our main character running because the shots were too repetitive and prolonged. We also decided to not add a filter because after trying some out the natural color scheme was the look we were looking for. One thing i’ve learned from this is how important it is to know how to use the camera you’re filming on because most of the scenes in the beginning are very bright, so i tried to dim them down a little in editing but now i know what to pay attention to next time. Some of the music i wanted to add before i decided not to because after filming and seeing all the footage together it didn’t really suit what i was looking for, and when i found the whispering thoughts mp4 and out it over the footage it was like putting the last piece in a puzzle! Another realization i made was how editing and sound effects can change a film in great extents. Before adding those extra touches i wasn’t too confident of our work but after seeing it all come together i am proud of what we accomplished. This process has been long and confusing but i’ve learned a lot throughout. Using the techniques we have learned in class and researched online has taught me that there are endless ways to portray any scene and inspires me to be more creative in my projects to come. Overall, i think from start to finish every change we made in the project was necessary and aided in making it what it is currently. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. Bye now!
