Re-editing

The corona virus pandemic caused Stephanie and I to not physically be able to edit together. We agreed that Stephanie would handle the re-editing. We got on a phone call to discuss the edits we would make. After that, Stephanie got to work. Typically, we would call each other while she was editing. However, this time we didn’t call but I knew Stephanie was more than capable of handling this by herself. When she finished, she sent me the video. She also informed me on what edits she made beforehand. She added in a black screen in the first 10 seconds of the opening. The screen had white text which gave background information as to what the film was about. We added this because we wanted to give the viewers some clarification on what’s going on in the film since our reviewers told us they were confused on the plot. We took inspiration from Star Wars for this part. 

The next thing Stephanie added was an establishing shot. Our reviewers said that we didn’t include an establishing shot in our film. To fix our mistake, Stephanie inserted the shot I took of my backyard and included it in the opening. Stephanie also inserted some new clips for the opening sequence. She had to add filters to the new scenes that were apart of the flash forward. For some of the clips, she duplicated the audio and inserted it into its designated scene. She did this so that the audience could hear some of the actual audio over the music in the background. Lastly, Stephanie inserted some new titles and rearranged them so that they were evenly spaced out. She told me this editing process took about 90 minutes.
