EDITING - Scene 2

 Setting the 2nd Scene Straight

    In my last blog post, I edited the shots for the part of the second scene where Emma makes her bed. In this blog post, I will be incorporating the rest of the shots and editing to finish the visual portion of the film.

Process

    Once again, I used a process similar to the one I used to edit scene one. I began by importing the necessary media and ordering the clips in the way I envisioned. For scene two, I did not alter the run time of any of my shots much. This is because I was aiming to have scene two have a slightly longer duration of about one minute and 25 seconds. This way my film opening has a total runtime about 2 minutes.

Challenges

    The challenge I faced was what to do with the S.C.R.I.P.T.E.D. Act notification. Because I couldn't get any shots of it that would actually flow with the rest of the opening, I decided to see if I could overlap it with the text later on by making it more opaque. Luckily, I was able to make the image more opaque; however, I may still remove it all together later on.

Reflection

    Despite my challenges and uncertainty throughout this step, I was still able to finish what is basically the visual portion of my film opening. I am so excited to be done with this step. I am only a few steps away from completing my film opening completely! In my next post I will be adding the title and credits to my film opening.

    Until then, farewell!
