Editing to the Max

 It's now time to start editing! On the previous days of production, I filmed several scenes to accommodate the needs of this film, When previously filming I jotted down what needed to be fixed during the editing process. No matter how well a scene can be filmed some things need to be fixed artificially. This includes things such as lighting and sound. Considering our genre lighting and sound is very important. It adds to the suspense of the film by emphasizing a darker setting and eery noises. In the thriller genre usually, dark lighting is used to leave the viewer on the edge of their seat. It leaves them with a sense of fear and anxiety as to what is going to come. Emphasizing the suspense in the film is the most important. As per usual we deleted scenes that were for backup shots and were needed. Referencing the notes that I took when filming I knew the order of some scenes may need to be altered. This is due to some scenes being used as insert shots or establishing shots. Establishing shots are very important to the film to let the audience know where the setting of the film is. This is to eliminate any confusion for the audience. To remain within the time limit of the film we shorten some clips to not create any awkward pausing. The pacing of a film in the thriller genre is extremely important. When there are unnecessary pauses the audience may overanalyze this pause. This would overshadow the actual focus of the film and what the scene entails. Today we got a lot done. On our next day of editing, we will focus on adding in sound, editing the lighting, and some other editorial changes.
