We are back again with another blog from ME!

Today, I will be talking about some of the resources I used during the editing process:

 The Basics

       Although I may some have some prior experience with editing and using Adobe Premiere Pro in general, it has been a while since I used it. This led me to Google tutorials on how to do simple things such as applying transitions or adjusting the volume throughout scenes. While I needed refreshers for just simple things within Premiere Pro, something that I have never done before is COLOR GRADING. Consequently, I searched for videos on how to color grade and copied their graphs for the horror effect. Thus, when you watch the final project, you WILL notice the colors look drastically different from the photos that I showed you in the filming blogs.

Special Effects and Atmospheric Design

       In addition, I used some special effects throughout the film opener to emphasize the project's horror and suspense. Things such as noise or distortions and the color grading I mentioned above were abused heavily during scary scenes. Furthermore, although I know how to create a sound perspective from my sound story project, I still watched videos on how OTHERS did theirs. This allowed me to gain a fresh perspective on what I needed to achieve and employ during the editing process, so I could have something that made the viewer really feel like they were in the scene with Ivy. In conclusion, I watched far more videos on how to achieve the look I created in the final result, but I just wanted to share with you guys some of the MOST impactful videos I watched.

   Thank you for giving me your time of day, and stay tuned for the next one!
