Post Production: Part I

0 Comments
The software that I will be using to edit is Adobe Premier Pro, as I am familiar with it since I have used it before. I do not have all the clips yet, but since I was unable to film today (because my actors had to go to Doha), I decided to edit the clips I have so far.

I thought that putting all the clips were quite easy because simple cuts are used between each shot (except for the one-shot clip, where I follow to the back of the female character's head). I also played around with the brightness and contrast of all the clips so that it would match the following shots. This is because I had to place the lamp at different points of the room to get similar lighting to all the shots - they were not the same throughout because they were filmed at different angles. Additionally, the lamp cord is quite short and so I had to make do with the three switch around the room that were all far apart.

Furthermore, I added applied a letterbox to all the clips by simply adding a letterbox overlay above the clips on the timeline. I think this is really effective because is allows me to re-size and re-position any clips that are underneath the letterbox. As well as this, I really like the use a letterbox because it gives my film opening a more cinematic feel, and also makes it looks more professional.

One my first post-production attempt, I managed to put together all the clips very quickly as I had my storyboard to help me know which order the clips go in. For the next time I film, I will need to find a way to stabilise the clip (shown above), because it is a one-take and it is very shaky. Additionally, I need to film the clips of Sabrina and her male counterpart so I can finish putting together all the clips, then add in the credits afterwards.
