Editing: Planning & Teen Scene

Hey everyone! Last week was hectic as I told you all on the blog. We filmed all of the scenes for our short film Cutting Room Floor back to back, checking all of the boxes in the production phase. Now the fun really begins, as it is time to edit this beast into a cohesive short film. Here we go! 


Planning

To begin with, the editing process is going to be split between Oliver and I. We will both utilize Adobe Premiere Pro, a fantastic editing software that both of us are certified in. The advantage of both of us using it is that we can easily exchange project files. Speaking of files, both of us already took the time to go through each of the video and audio recordings and label them according to which scene they are from. It was a bit boring as there were hundred of different files to deal with, but necessary for our workflow.  

Look at all of those raw files! 😳

We decided that we would each do our own share for the rough edits of the scenes. I will personally be putting together the opening/teen scene, the action scene, and the final/void scene. Oliver will do the rest, which is the romance scene and the entirety of the montage. This way we can edit faster in order to meet our upcoming deadline. 


Teen Scene

I already have finished my cut of the teen scene. It is very primitive, as it has no proper audio mixing, color grading, visual effects, or even the narrator dialogue. It is also missing the nature shots as we were not able to get those yet. Regardless, this is a good look at the vision I have for the scene and the short film as a whole. I hope you all enjoy this first look!
