Editing Process

 We started editing on Adobe Premiere Pro. There isn’t much to edit other than the title, the sound, and the coloring. At first, we planned on having the coloring of our opening be very dull almost as if it lacked vibrance, but once we exported the videos from the camera, we noticed that the lighting choices we made already helped us achieve that look.  

Fatima said she had previous experience editing so she offered to edit most of the clips. She didn’t have much time to edit this week so this is what she has done so far: 

 

 One thing we still need to figure out though is the title clip for the opening. We wanted to make the title appear on screen as if it were being handwritten after the screen fades to black when Maddie closes her curtains. We wanted the title to look handwritten since one of the most important aspects of the movie will be Maddie’s diary whcih she will write in as her depression gets worse. I already started looking up on how we could create this and found this tutorial https://youtu.be/cHNJ8Ankq

For the music, my team member Maria, who happens to play the piano, offered to create some instrumental songs to include in some scenes so our opening isn't completely quiet. Obviously, since our opening will regard a very serious struggle, we don't want the music to take away from the raw feeling that we are trying to convey.
