Editing Diary(1:20)- 20th Fri Feb


I've now edited a minute and 20 seconds to my film which is still unfinished. I have experimented with different split screens. the split screen with the stairs and ping pong may be changed since it seems too confusing but this is okay since the editing so far is rough (though it may not appear this way).
I still have more shots that I need to film so far so editing it going to be more difficult until I get these scenes. I could edit the film without these scenes and then add them later. I will hopefully get these scenes next week. So far I think the editing is good so far in terms of cutting and the variety of shots used. However the story is yet to make sense but with the added scenes later on I hope they will create the story desired. 
As for the credit titles I have made up names but is still following Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind's credits as reference.
I am going to reshoot the beginning phone shot since it is too shaky and may redo the stairs/pingpong shots for this same reason. I will redo these with a tripod despite it being tricky before.

Editing Diary(First 40 seconds)- 8th Sun Feb

I have edited the first 40 seconds of my film on Sony Vegas. I was able to install my chosen font and start to use this in the opening credits. I am using the opening credits to Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind as a basis for my own, by using the same or similar production companies. I have gotten the hand of using split screen and I am experimenting with multiple screens. For the flashbacks I have used darker colours, light flares and radial blur. Hopefully it'll be obvious that they are flashbacks as I will use editing to make the link between the two days. In advance for the 'present day' shots I have added a blue tinge to contrast with the flashback shots.

This is the first 40 seconds. The sound is yet to be edited:

Filming Diary 7th Sat Feb- Filming Diary

We did the extra shots that we needed from the bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom was still being used when we needed to film and I decided that it would be better to film from another room anyway. In the bathroom it was difficult to put the tripod in such a small room so we had to hold the tripod whilst filming. I still don't think we got enough shots so we may have to do more. However I now have enough to start editing.
