Rainy day editing

 May 20, 2023


    Yet another day of editing and again it was very strenuous. Besides starting the day off with breakfast we started off with another morning editing session. To make this one as productive as possible we made sure to work together to get it done right. So we had about 13 minutes left of pure editing the Kyle interview. We decided to watch it together, make the cuts and keep making sure it flowed. It took a lot of time to edit this interview since he talks a lot and we want to make sure to keep the good content, but we also want to cut out all the parts where he repeated himself or said um. Cutting these out just makes the interview cleaner and also reduces the time. After this editing session we took a break since we had put a lot of time into it. We decided to go to New London quick and grab some food. Then we came back and started editing again. For the second session of the day we still had to finish the Kyle interview and which we did finish editing it in the second session. After we finished this we started brainstorming for how we wanted to arrange his content. His interview is a large part of the documentary and we want to rearrange bits and pieces of his interview.

Preparing for departure

     Today began the first day of an exciting two weeks! I fly out tomorrow from Boston and will be on a six hour flight to Los Angeles. Today, I packed my bags and started communicating with people that we are planning on interviewing. I also started thinking of places and ideas that I want to film and how I want it to all turn out. My ideas of the product are ever changing and I am very excited to fly out tomorrow. Today was a day filled with preparation and communication to prepare for a week in LA where I will be learning film. It was crucial today to make sure that I had all the materials needed to make sure I am well equipped for the trip. I am really excited for tomorrow where I will be making the 6 hour trip and continue to brainstorm some film ideas.

Arriving in Los Angeles

  May 9th 2023    Today was the day of travel and the start to me and Camila’s week in LA. I woke up at 5:45am to go to the airport to catch my 6 hour flight.  It was a very long travel day but very exciting and once I landed I was ready to start the project. I found Camila and our adventure started! The main objective for today was to create our questions for our interview/ studio tour tomorrow. We want to make sure we get a lot of footage tomorrow and that our interview is very well thought out. After creating our interview questions we decided to get some rest for our big day tomorrow. We got 2 hours total.

Weekly reflection #2

 May 21st, 2023      What a week it has been. To introduce you to this week I will give you a little rundown. We started this week by traveling from across the country from LA all the back to Boston. Camila and I took a red eye which kind of messed up our sleep schedule. The prior week we had learned been really busy so the both of us were ready to relax and focus on putting the documentary together. Besides starting our week with traveling it was time for us to get creative and get ideas for what we wanted to do. We had a lot of great content from the prior week from our interviews and filming different shots of LA.      This week we accomplished a lot. We finished the documentary in total which is amazing and really exciting. I learned this week how to make videos pleasing to the ears and eyes. To make the documentary engaging you have to crop all of the videos to edit out parts of the interview where the person talking maybe paused or said um. Cropping the interviews took a lot of t
