Production Blog: Editing

 

 Today I began the long process of editing my video. This took a ton of time throughout my day but I'd say it was well worth it. I started by extracting all the video footage off of my recording phone. Once I got all the separate videos I recorded onto my phone that's when the fun began. The first thing I had to do was edit out bad footage. There were a few instances where something would be caught on camera that I didn't want shown so I had to remove them. One part my finger covered the camera so I had to edit that out, good thing I caught it! After this I began to place the videos in order. I started with the first scene (of course) this one involves a shovel digging up something mysterious. This is later revealed to be the golden calf of legend, but there are a few things that take place in-between these moments. First off there's the scene where my acting comes into play. Here I read an excerpt from the bible, which is a prelude to the events that are about to take place. After this I am seen walking to the dig site in a transition scene. I think this scene helps build the world that's being shown in the film. After this I have a bunch of glamour shots of the calf. These combined with some good music will really show an exciting atmosphere. Of course I am not done with my editing completely yet. I still need to add lots of sound effects. I have already made the opening text, but I have yet to add it to the video. Overall this is going to be really exciting when it finally finishes!
