Editing Day 2 of Forsaken

     Greetings bloggers and welcome back! As you saw in the last blog we have finally concluded our filming of our film opener, Forsaken, and we are so happy with what is next to come! Now, that we are finished me and my partners Marcus and Alexander are continuing the editing process now that we have all of the footage filmed. We have been on a pause on the editing process since we were making our filming the top priority but join us today to discuss new additional information apart from when we last talked about editing.

As we had discussed previously, we brainstormed using Adobe Premiere Pro for the editing of our masterpiece, Forsaken. However, we realized while it is a very powerful and amazing software to edit with, as a team we realized that it just felt unnecessarily complex to utilize. We faced so many issues like crashes of the program, overall just difficult to learn, and it was really just a complicated interface. We realized that this software just was not for us and the majority of the time we were just fixing issues that we encountered when trying to use Premiere Pro. We investigated better video editing platforms and with utilizing easy mobile apps like CapCut and iMovie, this felt like the perfect for us and it was just so much easier to use. Not to mention, the simplicity of all the tools when it came to cutting, arranging and improving the footage at a quicker pace. This really just allowed for more of a smoother and enjoyable editing process for all of us!

Editing is just a crucial task and plays such an important factor as well in the telling of our narrative. Over the next two weeks, we will be really analyzing and checking if everything is perfect down to the different angles that we used. The whole team of me, Marcus, and Alexander will be working effortlessly in making sure every aspect with visuals and the overall pacing matches the vision we are going for in our opener. Teamwork is so crucial for a project like this and with us coming together, especially for the editing is making this whole process so much more reflective and enjoyable. With various different perspectives, as a team we can create ideas and make prominent changes that may be needed to increase the understanding of this opener. We are so excited to have Forsaken portrayed at its full potential and with the help of our team and the new editing softwares that we announced. it will be even greater. Thank you bloggers for reading in today on our editing updates and I will catch you guys in the next post for more updates!
