Post-Production (Editing Part 2)

This blog pertains to the first draft of the film we produced on the editing platform "wevideo.com". After my teammates and I decided on an editing platform to use to comprise our film, I started the process of editing the scenes we filmed. Editing is the process of choosing, manipulating and arranging images and sounds in the post-production phase of a film. This process has a significant impact on how an audience interprets our media text and how they will feel when consuming it. Ultimately, its main purpose would be to create a narrative space and establish a narrative time, create the illusion of a film unfolding naturally, create character development, and to engage our audience effectively. 

The first steps I would take towards arranging elements of the film is importing the several scenes we filmed in the production phase. I would then arrange the videos in order to put in place the vision that my teammates I came up with in planning. To give a brief synopsis of the idea behind the scenes, our supporting character Nicholas Wilson gives a valuable bag to his friend and main character of our film, Spencer James. However, Spencer James would be spotted by one of the subordinates of a powerful boss Nicholas stole the bag from named Berry Doncic. He is then chased into a corner, and when Berry Doncic is about to punch Spencer and take the bag back there is a freeze scene narration of the narrator re-evaluating how he got into trouble. Consequently, it would que to a flashback that would hook the audience into finding out why Nicholas stole the bag, what is in it, why Spencer got involved, and who the unknown boss is. The first draft of our film can be seen below.
