Today we will be presenting our final cut for the fall semester class. Our group has been working very hard to get the film to this point. As an editor, I am very proud of some of the things we accomplished in this film. The format of our film is very free, that is, a first time viewer will not be able to expect what is coming next. The simulated aesthetic of flipping channels works well with this format and adds a sense of fun to what otherwise could be a dry topic. Hugh also shot some additional B-Roll these last couple of weeks. Some of the shots were quite impressive and worked well with the interviews.
I also worked on some music for the film. I am no musician, but I tend to know what sounds and instruments I like. With the help of software and some doodling around on a keyboard, I was able to compose a few tracks to accompany the film and improve the pacing. This was not too difficult since each track was only about 30 seconds to a minute long.
In the end, there may still be a few problems with this cut. For example, there are some children's faces in the foreground of our B-Roll that we didn't get permission from. We didn't think about this until Kebba brought it up. After class Monday, we will go back to edit around that as much as we can. We are not too worried about this, though.
I am excited to see how the other cuts have been coming along, too!
