re-edit blog

My group and I were extremely happy to get apart of the editing process out of the way. But we had to re-film the beginning of the film due to us having to switch actors. So because of this we had to re-edit everything we edited the first time. We now had to switch out all the old scenes with the new ones that we filmed. We were definitely bothered by this because we worked hard on editing the first time and now we had to do it all over again. I wan't the best at editing so I honestly didn't do much, but I did help pick which scenes to use, and adjust the sounds. We wanted to do a shot-reverse-shot so the majority of the time we were trying to figure out exactly when to cut the scene and go back to it. We wanted that part to be perfect because we thought it'd make it look cool. So we had a shot of the kidnapper watching the sister walk through the parking lot, through his rear-view mirrors. This was a point of view shot and we wanted to combine it and the shot-reverse-shot. We wanted it to switch from the shot of him watching them to a two shot of the sisters walking, and then back to him watching them walk through the lot. After we completed that part of the editing we moved on to the sound part. We wanted a sound of him breathing, in a creepy way. Another part that we had to edit was the girls walking into the store. We edited that and the girls walking through the store isles. Editing it was a big step forward for us because we always procrastinate with editing, every time we try to do it, we kind of fail. We had to put our insecurities aside because we had to get everything done because we also had to edit the rest of it. Overall we got the beginning done just in time for the bell to ring. We felt as if a weight was lifted off our shoulder because we can now continue with the rest of the film instead of focusing only on the beginning. We are now one step closer to finishing the overall project.
