First Steps of Editing

 Editing!!

I genuinely enjoy editing! It's one of my favorite parts of this whole production process! I enjoy acting too, but editing is where I feel my skills shine, and I hope to prove with the editing of this film opening. There isn't anything too crazy planned, most of it just being cuts to different angles and actions. That doesn't mean this role of editing should be taken lightly, since it is just as important as most of the factors of this production. So come with me, as I edit the few clips I have together to have a clear and consistent scene that fits into the time constraints.

(Screenshot was not working, I fear)

I'm currently editing Aurora's solo scenes, which isn't much, but I have to make sure to keep them short and sweet while including everything we want to. I will say, keeping things short is definitely my biggest struggle when I edit, so I am fearful of this, but as long as I make sure her scene is no more than 10 seconds we'll be fine! 

Well...

The video is 16 seconds instead of my hoped for 10 seconds (or less), but I did what felt right and natural, so I am not too upset. I will have to wait until I get all clips to see if it's much of an issue or not. For now, it's an alright time and it looks good so there is no huge outcry for this situation.

I know it isn't much, but it's all I can do right now! It's better to have this done than to add another "scene" on top of everything else I'd have to edit. The blog post for editing the big scenes is going to go insane!
