Hollywood Reflections: Week Three

     This has been quite the productive week for my team. All of our footage, music, and voiceovers have been imported and edited. Our rough cutt is complete. Our audio has all been panned and adjusted to -12dB as well. Now all thats left to do is figure out the special effects and video transitions. On the side, we also still have to finish our title slide and finalize our credits, although they look pretty good. 

     Throughout the video editing process this week, I have spent my share of time cutting down the clips. I also fixed most of the audio problems. Finally, I started messing around with some of the video effects and found some interesting ones that my group may like. So far, everything is coming together very nicely.

  

Hollywood Reflections: Week Two

     Today marks the end of the second week of editing my group has been doing on our film Every Last Drop; a thriller about a woman who poisons her husband and is faced with a dilema when her son begins taking on similar abusive characteristics.
     This week has been quite productive but our film is still in it's rough cutt stage. We got some new footage last week and imported that. All the clips look nice and work properly so that's not a problem. However, we are having difficulty cutting down all the clips to fit into a four minute time period. I've been doing my best to pick and choose only the best and most vital clips to put in. However, there is a ton of footage we still have to look through and somehow organize into our timeline.
     We did manage to finish almost all the voiceovers though. I'm especially proud of this because we'd been having some technical difficulties when we'd tried, on several attempts, to record in the past.
I think some of the important things we need to focus on for next week are finishing our rough cut, polishing the voiceovers, importing audio/sound effects, completing the credits and opening, and just continuing to cut down the clips. If all goes as planned, we will definetly be able to have a decent movie completed in the next couple of weeks which we will then be able to polish even more with the extra time.
