Portfolio Project: Post Production

While we haven't yet finished filming (there is a single shot that will show the film continues after opening) I have begun on... THE EDIT!!!

Post production is always my favorite part of making a project as I can only then see our ideas truly come into fruition. So far, I've edited very little but I've begun understanding the flow of the conversation our characters are having AND I've begun to hone in the coloring for the film. It is quite dark so I need to be careful of raising the exposure too much and introducing grain to the shots, but the colors are beautiful. 

So far, I've come into an issue with the movement of the very first shot matching exactly with a closeup of the main antagonist's watch in the next. I am going to have to move those clips around and see what will look the best, it's nothing I haven't had to deal with before. I may want to do a reshoot later (or just getting more shots) because I am a strong advocate for shot variety and so far I don't see that in the edit. The project feels kind of flat. But I am going to edit the whole thing before I decide on anything.
