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.

Day 4

  May 11 2023, 6:30pm         Today was the day we met with Santiago Marcos who is our mentor. We got up around 8am and went and walked to grab some coffee to start our day. We had our meeting at 1pm, so we had some time before to relax and draft some questions that we were curious about to ask. Then we headed over to our meeting to a restaurant/cafe called Zinc. At Zinc we sat down and got to talk to Santiago about our project, what it entails and how we can make it the best. Camila and I talked a lot about our ideas and what we have been thinking it should look like. Santiago gave us a lot of really great advice and gave us some documentary recommendations to watch to get some creative ideas from. He also gave us a lot of little tips for the audio, soundtrack and how to draw the audience into the documentary. It provided us a lot of insight and a lot of inspiration for our documentary. Our meeting was very exciting and helpful for our project. Furthermore...

After we did some chores we proceeded to keep editing which was very fun and we made sure to be very tedious with every part as we want it to be excellent.

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. Cropp...
