-------------------
As far as editing goes, I have gotten pretty far from the last time that I talked about it. I was able to finish my second video in full and start my first one. In having all of this being done, it relieves a bunch of pressure. I am in the home stretch right now and I want to go out producing content that I am not only proud of, but that I worked hard on. For each of these videos I am giving it my absolute all, making sure that it is edited in the correct way and including citations and music and sound effects to adhere to what is typically seen within those types of media. For example, within my second video (where I filmed a talk show) I made sure to edit in audience noises and intro music to further enhance that piece.
-----------------------
This video specifically was really fun to film and to edit. I wanted it to be as authentic looking and feeling as possible, so I wanted all of my answers to come from my heart and not directly from my script. Now believe me, I did utilize my script a good amount, but I really used it as an outline rather than a work for word tool. In having the shots being continuous made it feel like a real talk show, which is what I wanted. I did end up having to edit out some bits because I took a long time answering or I kept saying "um" and "uh" to gather my thoughts in the moment. I really only edited those parts out because I didn't want it to add any unneeded length to the video, making it straight to the point.
Now I know that this video is on the longer side, but I think that if I had it any shorter it wouldn't have the same genuine feel that I was going for. This video really aims to target those specific and thoughtful questions that need to be answered honestly, and in me doing a talk show, it ensures that I answer those questions directly from my thoughts and not reading off of a script.
-----------------
Even though I only just started the editing process for my first video, I feel that I have a set in stone plan as to what direction i'm going to take it in. I've said before that I want it to give off a sort of YouTube commentary vibe, while still holding professional aspects. When going into the editing process for this video, I thought that some things would be challenging, like adding cutaway content or finding the right non-copyrighted music. But now, that couldn't be farther from the truth. I will say, it did take some time to find the exact music that sounded and fit within this video, but it was a way easier process than I made it out to be.
--------------------
In the picture above, I made it a point to show how I am putting in the cutaway content. Through iMovie, it is so extremely easy to do this, which is what I was nervous about. I have never edited a project in that way, so it was a completely new territory for me. I am no where near done to having this video being complete in full, but over this week I will be editing and putting the final touches onto all of my items for this project, including this video. I can't wait to share all of my videos!
