Blog 26: Editing Day 1

                Editing

    Welcome back my loves! Editing is an essential technique that polish one's filming product. As an editor, I am more happy to spill about my editing journey. 

    We used CapCut as our main editing software. Some other color filter app was considered but CapCut's filters are also applicable. Me and Mimeo decided to divides our most time consuming part, which is title sequencing editing. She does the first two title effect and I do the other twos. However, our imagination did not match our expectation. The title sequencing took up a lot of our times, considering from choosing the font to the appropriate color and shadow.  We chose to use the Pinyon font for the title and the birthstone font for each individual's name. However, each scene utilize different  it's own color and appearance techniques. We figured that the title looks a little weird and shaky as it doesn't move with the objects. Attaching the phrase on top of the products was a complicate idea for us. We tried different techniques and positions. 

    As result, CapCut's motion tracking feature work the best for us. After a couple hours with title sequence. We moved on to transitioning. Transitioning was only placed primarily on the most important part like shifting in scenes, lighting or mood. We chose to use the simplest transitioning as possible, such as fade to black, fade to white, dissolve, and blur. The only dramatic transition was employed in this film was pull in to create the overwhelming effect and place the audience on spot for Gigi's roller coaster emotional.
