The editing for our project went well for me. It was a little
confusing because for some reason, we got the idea that we were required to
have two versions of our final cut. To save ourselves time, we split up into
twos to work on two different final cuts from the rough cut we had put together
last week. I worked with Chic (while communicating with our other group members online) and was happy with the opportunity to play around with editing sound. As
the D.P. and main editor for the documentary project, I was more focused on
creating a narrative from the footage we had collected and how the images
looked on screen. This time, I was able to put more work into editing the sound.
I’m also proud of myself for solving two visual issues in our project: 1)
we had a longer take in our rough cut of Bran and Park walking down a sidewalk
pushing a stroller. Nothing was wrong with the take, but we wanted to add a
cutaway of the stroller wheel. Our cutaway shot was taken on a different day
and needed some color correction. I also had to mirror the image because the
wheel shot was from the other side and I didn’t want to jump the axis of
action: easy fix. 2) Our rough cut contained a jump cut. As our characters
change their wardrobe in scene, our different shots didn’t line up for when
Park stands up; he’s bending over in one shot, and standing up in the next. To
correct this, I added another cutaway of the two from a different angle. It
took some searching through different shots in the scene until I found one that
worked well. Success: I eliminated the jump cut.
I enjoyed working with this group and think we’ve pulled
together a nice project.
