Blog Post #50 - Editing: Shot Order

 Now that I've completed recording every shot I need for my final cut, I have to begin to edit the clips into their final form. I will be going off my script, storyboard, and general idea for my project to create a rough order of the shots to go through in order to make my project coherent when watching.

The first sequence defined in my script is the montage of Fern reading S.K.B.D. News. Inside this sequence is my title sequence, and throughout it, Fern drinks coffee, plays with his pen, reads the news, and gets a notification on his phone before looking at the door. There is not an order to these besides the notification and looking up at the door coming last.

This means that clips relating to this scene will come first.

After this sequence comes my title card, which I discussed and developed in Blog Post #38 - Titling Sequence

After the title card comes the sequence of Ed Entering the Office, which shows Ed entering through a door, asking Fern a question (prompting a shot change back to him), and then shows Ed walking towards Fern.

After this comes the scene of Ed and Fern's Conversation, which begins with Ed showing Fern security camera footage and then progresses to Fern's reaction to the footage, exited by them walking out of frame.

This transitions to a tracking shot of them walking out of the building, Fern passing the keys to Ed, and closing the door behind Fern. 

This then transitions to the last shot, where Fern and Ed get in the car, with Ed driving, and they drive down the road. I have already edited this scene slightly in order to make it faster. I did this in Blog Post #49 - Shortening the Driveway Scene


Below is my initial edit, where I put all the shots in order.

Blog Post #16 - Initial Storyboard

 In this post, I plan to give a general, current visual representation and sequencing for my project, and the scenes within it. These scenes include Fern and Ed speaking in the detective's office, Fern and Ed exiting the detectives office, Fern and Ed entering the car and driving in it, Fern and Ed appearing at the crime scene with the dead body, and possibly a scene featuring the killer.  This picture is a representation of the first scene, featuring an over-the-shoulder shot behind Ed, facing Fern reading the "S.K.B.D. News" This picture is a representation of the second scene, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office, through a two-shot, with Fern in the background, and Ed in the midground, picking up keys in the foreground. I chose this configuration to put emphasis on the keys.    These pictures are a representation of the fourth scene, which starts with an action cut from the last seen, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office driveway, through a wide shot. This th...

Blog Post #41 - Obstacles Recording the Security Camera Scene

Image
 While me and my actors were getting ready to start recording, we ran into multiple unexpected problems. The scene I will be discussing in this post is the scene of the security camera footage, which features the Killer killing Lacey's Child, the Killer played by me, and the child by Ethan. The script for this scene has the killer approaching the child, and stabbing him, with (fake) blood flying out. Photo of me, Eriberto (Eddie) Mendoza, in the Killer's outfit before recording The problems we ran into may have been unexpected, but they were not unpredictable and could have been planned ahead. The biggest obstacle we ran into was the  weather . We noticed a few hours before, the sky had gotten gloomy, grey, and cloudy, but I dismissed it, being eager to start production. When my actors arrived at my house to record the scene, I felt a drop come from the sky, at this point I was starting to get worried, the sky had gotten darker and more grey.  Recording When we went to st...
