Editing progress

Folks, we did it! We have finally made some progress on our editing, thanks to Isabella! Once she came back from Paris, Isabella and I spent hours finding the perfect song for our trailer, royalty free of course! After finding the perfect song, we were able to start editing.

Unfortunately, the file of our trailer is over 100MB and will not upload to blogger. Isabella and I both agreed that uploading it to YouTube is not the best idea since it is not the finished trailer. All we are missing from trailer one is static scenes and camera footage lenses. Therefore, you will just have to trust our word for now and wait until we can get the file under 100MB to show you guys a preview!

Isabella was an absolute hero when it came to editing our first trailer. She took this task under her wing and went for it. Of course, I was there to offer her guidance and help when she needed! Isabella incorporated muliple cinematic conventions in the trailers to make it more real and conventional. She added cinematic bars to the whole trailer, to make it look like the trailer had thick black margins on the top and bottom of the trailer. Isabella also added the vignette filter to the found footage, which makes the image look more vintage.

The audio of  the trailer consists of voice-overs, which Isabella strategically placed, back-ground music, which we both agreed aided in conveying the romantic mood and vibe, and audio from the clips that we filmed. Though Isabella was faced with the tough task of matching our voice overs with the clips that we filmed, she powered through and the result is amazing!

I'm just so happy we are making progress and that we are catching up from being behind! I can't wait to start editing trailer two and begin researching on poster conventions!

Stay tuned for more...
