Postproduction- Editing

 Finally, we made it to the last stage-Editing. Me and my group knew that we would encounter some challenges and difficulties, but we didn't encounter as much as we thought.

Postproduction

Technology

Initially, we were suppose to use a software named Premier Pro that was installed into our school's computer. But, when it time to begin editing the software was not working and he had to pick another software to use for our editing. Luckily, we did research on other editing software. We began using WeVideo. WeVideo was very user friendly. Me and my group members didn't have to watch YouTube tutorials because we used the software because we used the software before for a music video in December. We didn't run into much problems with WeVideo. I learned that technology is easy to work with once you figure it out.

Conventions

In my genre, the titling looks pretty much the same. The titling consists of 3 colors- Red, Black, and White. If white is used then it is most likely the colors of the letters. We used red and black in our title. We didn't use much transitions and effects in our opening scene. We used a transition twice. We used a dip to black transition in between a couple shots to enhance the meaning and mood in the opening scene.

Sound

• We need to add a voiceover to one of our shots- We'll do this by recording a voice recording on a phone and then uploading it to the editing software and inputting it to the certain shot 
• Also, we need to add instrumental music to the beginning of our scene and the end of our scene to create a additional meaning and mood- The editing software WeVideo has a plethora of instrumental music that could be added easily.

Process

The editing process began at the end of March. The shots that we initially shot we put them together, it took us a week to add everything required and tey to make it perfect. When we thought that we were finished editing we were told that we made a mistake with our costuming and we had to re-film all our shots. This put us way behind in editing and we became nervous that we weren't going to make the deadline. We re-filmed all our shots on April 2. Soon after finishing our shots that's when we began editing. Once we returned to school from spring break we had to add a few things and tweak a few things. WeVideo is a very easy and self explanatory so in both times we had to edit it didn't us that long.
