Editing

      Today, Gaby and Isa came to my house to start the editing process. First, we uploaded our content onto our chosen movie editing software. Then we laid out all of our footage that we had taken from our very first filming session to our most recent with Gabriel, Dylan, Carlos, Isabel, and Gaby. We had already discussed the idea of starting off the film introduction with Carlos trying to catch his breath. But, while we were at town center, I decided to improvise again and I got a couple shots of Carlos's feet running across the floor. So, we decided to start off our introduction with that clip. This created a sense of curiosity to the audience because it begins the movie at an unpopular angle. Moreover, I suggested that we can use parallel editing to show to the cause as to why Carlos was running as shown below.

     Also, throughout our editing process, Gaby and Isa mentioned that the whole film introduction shouldn't be parallel edited. Realizing why, I agreed because it would just confuse our viewers, so we kept it at a minimum and only used the parallel editing technique in the beginning of the film. Moreover, we wanted to keep the clips short so that you can only see each clip briefly. This, again, would intrigue our audience. Also, as you can there were several close-up shots of Carlos in order for the audience to see who the main character is. Moreover, we tried to incorporate low lighting in order to convey a mysterious tone for the scenes including Carlos being chased. Eventually, we thought next time we could start our search for music.
