With all of the scenes completed for day 1 of filming, my group and I decided to get a jump on editing since we know that it will be a while before we will be able to film again.
Researching:
My group and I already had some practice and background with Premiere Pro, specifically Kevin, so he taught us a little bit about how we can do certain things. Once I started to get the commands down, like c to switch to cut, or v to go to the mouse, I was able to smoothly operate Premiere Pro with no problems until I encountered a mishap.
Complications:
While Kevin was at my house to film on day 1, we also began to edit a little bit and came to the realization that the effects panel was not working for me. After toying around with the platform for what felt like ages, we had finally figured it out. We cleared the cache on premire pros opening as well as resetting all the settings back to default. By doing this, it gave us the effects in the effects folder back, and we were able to edit in full swing.
Process:
Working on the project together with the built-in team project feature was not working well, so we decided to use this site called TeamViewer, allowing the whole team to work through the screen of one person.
After day one of editing, the timeline looked like the following image. This was just implementing all of the clips with almost no effects and just the start of the journey on editing
Reflection:
Getting into the preparation phase for our second day of filming feels like a real turning point. The first shoot day is behind us and knowing what to expect going in has made planning for day two a lot more straightforward.
Going back through the footage from day one also gave me a clearer sense of the visual direction I want to carry into day two. The shots with shallower depth of field and more intentional composition are the ones that stand out the most. Knowing that, I have a better idea of exactly what I want to be capturing in the driveway sequence and Lisa's scene tomorrow.
