Editing Blog: Just beginning

 Hey Blog! 

Today I edited the clips I have so far! This has probably been the hardest part so far if I am being completely honest. Last time I filmed another two scenes of my short film introduction, and now I have three scenes total to edit. This may be a tricky part, but I persevered and will continue to! 

First, I had to decide what editing software I would use. Last time I used capcut, but I still wanted to do a little research to make sure that is what I wanted to do. I knew that I would be editing on my phone, so I searched for mobile editing software. One of the top ones that popped up was Kinemaster. 

Kinemaster is a mobile editing software whose standard version is free to use. So, I downloaded it to see if it would be an easier way to edit. However, I already know how Capcut operates, so i decided to stick to that program.  

In the end I am happy I chose Capcut. I just had to upload the clips I wanted to use, and then I could rearrange them with ease. Also, if I need to cut or extend a clip, that is super simple. I am excited about the “add music” feature because I know that I definitely would like to incorporate some into my short film introduction. I think I will be selecting music soon, but I already have some dramatic tunes in my mind! 

The trickiest part about editing is definitely the time it takes. I feel like everything is super tedious, and it is easy to make a mistake. I am happy I finished editing the first three scenes today, but I know there are more to come. 

I hope you all enjoyed this blog. Thank you for reading and see you soon!

Title Research: The Last of Us

  Hey Blog!        As I continue my title research, the first sequence I will look at is a dramatic movie called, “The Last of Us ”. Th e show was released in 2023 and created by Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin . After I finished the sequence, I asked and answered three questions.   What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?   The names of main actors/ actresses   Casting director   Production designer   Visual effects supervisor   Editor   Director of photography   Musicians   Costume Designer   Producer   Co-executive producer   Executive producers   Writer What images are prioriti z e d throughout the scene?        Different earth-toned roots are followed throughout the title sequence.  The roots are just organically growing and moving. How does the film establish the feeling of the genre?      The darker colors are very dramatic and beg...
