Editing Blog: Inserting New Scenes

Today my group and I got on our google drive and found all the new reshoot scenes we filmed. We needed to re-film because in several scenes some of the actors' appearances changed. Everything we had previously filmed was no longer good use. Therefore, we needed to re-edit again. This was a long process, but it'd guarantee the film appearing smooth and appealing to the audience. First, we took the SD card reader provided to us by our teachers. The SD card reader contained all the scenes we filmed previously. Then, I opened up the Pinnacle Studios editing software and dumped all of the scenes into the application. After this, I proceeded to move the scenes into the order of the storyboard. This is to help the film make more sense.

Additionally, my group and I created a special method to know what scenes are placed where. This method is to number the scenes and then place them corresponding to their number. Another thing designed was a scary edit, to complement the audience’s watching experience. This technique was taken from previous horror films watched. It was to edit some quick pans of scary props we filmed. There was a scary doll, handprints, spiders, and a broken mirror. Afterward, the filter of the pan was changed. It was changed to black and white, to complement the horror-like theme of the film. This edit gives the impression of a safe environment at first, then quickly switches to a scary pan. This is meant to keep viewers on their toes throughout the beginning of the film. The picture below is cutting each scene.
