Finished Product! Re-edits

Our project, our two minute video, is finished!

Once the reshoots were done we looked through the ones we had to replace from the original shots. Then we looked at our options, of the new shots to use as replacement. We had a few, like the inside shots and some messy pans. There was one we had to replace due to a continuity error. We had quite the scare when some of the files wouldn’t load for us to edit, including sound and effects. We managed to fix it and get it back under control. Once we placed them all, down we went through the process of cutting the edges of so they would fit in perfectly. After that we made sure that the shots kept the same consistent lighting through filters.

Now, with having our new shots, we added more, special visual effects! We masked a filter so some parts were more noticeable than others, and although it isn’t perfect we decided to keep them. We also stumbled upon some layering effects and made the part where I pass out more disorientating. Along with that there were many filters added to add to the chaos, gradually fading in. We also made it get more green, as that was the evil color in our movie.

As for sounds, we found some better sound effects to use and played around with it. There are many things that I would’ve like to make better, however. It is unfortunate that we couldn’t redo the shots in the park, and I would’ve liked to reshoot them. In fact, there was one shot that was entirely useless to the story and video, and I wanted to get rid of it. But, my group members decided to keep it. Along with that there were some edits that weren’t smooth or subtle enough for my tastes, but we don’t really have much time left and we are happy with our final product.

Here is a picture of our screen when nothing would load, when we thought we would have to edit again from scratch:
