⋆˙⟡ The Editing Experience ✶⋆.˚
Hi Loungers, it is time for the second most important thing! Editing!
Today, I will be talking about our plans for this experience:
Preparation
I know in a previous blog post I said we were going to use Capcut (the software we have been using up until now) to edit our project. However, unfortunately, Capcut is BANNED in the United States for now (a slight problem for us but nothing we cannot get through), so as our backup, we will be using Adobe! Moreover, we all plan to contribute to the editing process as no one is a rookie, but primarily, it will be Yiqi doing the main framework of laying everything out before we all add in additional effects (which will be further expanded upon in the second paragraph). We planned to do a lot of subtle editing such as certain cuts in order to not detract from the realistic feel of the project but rather enhance it, so we will not be using anything fancy like CGI (it is also out of our skill level). Thus, do not expect too out of the ordinary!

Editing
This is the part you have all been waiting for, editing! As I mentioned above, I will be expanding upon the effects we have planned for this project! These effects include filters, color grading, and appropriate sound design for each scene as we need everything to be perfect! The filters such as grain or noise will be used to enhance the eerie atmosphere of the antagonists and kidnapping scenes while by color grading I mean altering dark scenes to seem more blue (colder) and ordinary scenes to be more bright (warmer). For the last of the video effects, I am sure you know the sound design we plan on doing (sound effects, background music, etc.) as I detailed in a previous blog post! Moving on to editing transitions, we plan on using a J-cut for the opening scene (another thing for sound!) in order to ease the audience from the establishing shot to the second shot. Next, we will use simple cuts where it is appropriate as not every shot has to be loaded as it will subtract from the ones with actual detail. Then, for any fast-paced or adrenaline-filled scenes such as the antagonists packing, we will use fast jump-cuts in order to capture the intensity and suspense while lastly, we will use fade transitions to create a sense of finality (i.e. when Ivy gets kidnapped transitions to Daniella getting the blackmail).
Once again, thanks for reading my blog, and stay tuned for the next one, Loungers!
