Production blog: editing

 I made the decision to modify using Cap Cut. I had to listen to the song on repeat a few times to know what I wanted to add. I started by adding my clips. Since we were conversing in the background and I didn't want the music to interfere with that, I just muted them all. I then matched every clip of film we had to the corresponding section of the song. To be honest, I took a different turn than I had planned. I didn't follow the storyboard's arrangement because, as I discovered, it only matched our conception of how we wanted it to appear—not at all. Fortuitously, I captured Nijah hanging outside the sunroof for approximately two minutes. Thus, the scene would change to "sunroof" each time the audio said it. I employed simple transitions. Though I wasn't sure, I knew I wanted to contribute more. I questioned my group, and they all said it looked good, but they would like me to silence the swearing on the embedded audio and make better transitions. I tried adding additional transitions on my second try, but I was hesitant to add too many as I didn't want the video to look unprofessional. I think it was smooth and fit the mood of the song, which was my goal. I didn't include a lot of footage from our most recent film day or our Chick-fil-A meal in my first movie. I did it this time to give our video more personality. I was pleased that I mostly followed the sequence in which I had drawn my storyboard. I admit that at first it was difficult, but I gradually got the hang of it. I can clearly see that my editing is different from my last one. Many thanks to Cap Cut and my teacher! Hope you guys like it!
