Production blog- emend

Image
  Welcome back to the blog. Today our further revision will be taken into place. We have decided to take our film and take a day of revision or "emend". We have plenty of footage to look over so it was unexpectedly exciting. We gathered every clip from our cameras and edited lighting, frames, and put everything on the same scale. We ditched bad videos or bad acting videos. As we took at least hundreds of clips so we would not have re-runs. Alek used capcut and I fed him the good clips. Our teamwork made it quicker and helpful. We narrowed our footage down and only saved edited film. Of course meaning good lighting and etc. We even brought our actors in for there approval on clips. After coming together we decided what to keep and such. Making almost a complete project our production has been significant. We want to perfect props for ongoing scenes and make sure the cameras are perfect. This will shorten edit time. I hope we can continue this movement and flawlessness so far. ...
