Production Process of Portfolio Project

                   Hey everyone, I have missed you guys! I have bad and good news for everyone. The bad news is that this will be the last documentation of the editing process for 'Only Mine'. The good news is that I will be reflecting on key moments of my editing process and informing you guys of any changes made to my project. Let's get started! 

Key Moments 

1.   

As you can see, I have one visual track and three audio tracks. Throughout my production, I included voiceover and background music. As every clip played, the audience is able to hear a form of sound. However, on some clips I muted the original audio. This is because the original audio would take away from the voiceover or background music. Overall, the Adobe Premiere Pro allowed me to mix my audios in an easy and concise manner. 

2.                                                                                                                                                

  

           One of the main issues I encountered while editing was regulating the volume of certain clips. For example, in some scenes, my actors would talk very quietly. While this took place, I had music playing in the background. It was very important to me that I found a way for my audience to hear what my characters were saying while the background music played. The screenshot above displays the tool I used to fix this issue. I was also able to regulate sensitivity, fade duration, duck amount, etc. 

3. 

         Throughout any editing process, it is always a good idea to add effects to your production. Effects can give you better transitions and cause your audience to become more engaged with your film. While editing my production, I used most of the effects shown above. These effects caused my film trailers to have better transitions and good demonstration. Adobe Premiere Pro gave me a handful of effects to choose from (as seen above) and these effects really helped with the illustration of the storyline for 'Only Mine'! 

4.                                                                                                                                                      

 

As I have already mentioned, I will be including graphics in my film trailers. This tool helped me control the alignment, duration, and text size of the graphics throughout my trailers. For example, I was able to rotate, shift, or expand the text(s). This tool allowed my graphics to run smoothly throughout my production.  

 

Changes to Project                                                                                                                                 

            For any production, it is common for some changes to be made throughout the duration of the project. Regarding my production, I only made one or two changes. These were deciding on which scenes and shots to include. As you follow my film overview or script, you will see that I did not include every shot for Trailer 1 or Trailer 2. This is because, I did not feel that these shots were necessary for the storyline. Throughout my editing process, I realized that my storyline could be progressed in a better manner than if those shots were included. 

         As you watch my film trailers, you will gain a better understanding of what I am discussing. You will be able to see the shots or scenes I included and how each one added to the progression of the plot of 'Only Mine'. Ultimately, I feel confident in my decision, and I am excited for you guys to view what I created! Thank you, guys, for tuning in and see you on the next blog post :).
