HERE IT IS!! The result

After working for 12 hours...yes, it happened, I don't know how but yes...it happened. It honestly went from me organizing the videos before I went to do other homeworks and it ended up by me realizing that it was 7 am, and it was already sunny back again. It was the weirdest feelings, it was really uncomfortable; and the stress of working diligently and seen that your video is not comming up rihgt...yeah that is very stressful. As I said before, my video requires lots of precision; making me not realize the time that passed by when I was just about to fix a "little bit more".

 This experience made me worry a little bit of the career path I am choosing since that would imply me working really late, repeating over and over the videos to be precise in my editing. I do not know if this would affect my mental state since I have heard that a way of tortouring is by playing songs over and over again. I did enjoy editing, but honestly this was really tough.

Getting to add the subtitles since the film is in Spanish was a great experience since it was something I have not done before and I did like it. But then at the end they were not appearing when I had to export the video, but it was because I have not rendered them with the video but it was solved, thanks to Sofi <3

Also, the relief I have for been able to figure out how to edit this video is unbelievable since honestly this haunted me down since I filmed it. Not before because from last experiences I learned that I have to be energetic and positive when filming in order to get things the way they should, so yes I was not anxious before; but after it was really overwhelming to edit. As I have said before I have so much material for the introduction that I have decided to create an introduction apart from what I have created already and make the whole scene; since I did have to take out many parts. So yeah I will do that to have the full version, and I will also create one with all the bloopers since it was a really fun time when filming, and I want to give all my friends a video that could have together all the fun we had :) this was actually my mom's idea. Creds to Patty :)

The editing the 226

Hello everybodyyyyyyyyy!!!!
SO I have been editing the video and I decided to take a break and make a blog post in order to show you guys the process I have been through.

All the modifications that I mentioned in the last blog posts are still going to occur but as I have been editing I have found out that there are other variables of what I can do. Let me explain myself...

On the day of the filming I ended up with 226 videos. I made like 12 takes for the same shot, I am not kidding I did this unconsciously and still need better ones evry now and then but I have great takes so I am going to use the best from the best. I am really greatful that I have a lot of material to work with but it is also overwhelming since last night I was looking video per video, deleting the bad ones, and naming the good ones according to what scene they correspond to and what is the good thing about that special take. I even had to make a code of numbers so I could determine which clips correspond to each scene.

Just to make you see what I have seen for the past hours

Code I created (Ik it is kinda ugly but I know what I mean hahaha)

As a result, I ended up watching 226 and choosing material for just 2 minutes. I have also seen that I want to make a lot and the maximum is just 2 minutes; so I really want to make the best that I can and keep it simple instead off adding up minutes of irrelevant material to the story and purpose for such a short amount of time ( yes I think is a short amount of time :) )

And as I said before, I've had to make many changes and make a second storyboard in order to organize all the actual clips that I have; better since I did follow the storyboard I did on the day of filming but I still made some changes in which I need to adapt the sequence of the scenes to. But again I am dedicating the afternoon to figure this out!! Let's hope for the best! and honestly I don't understand how I take so much time doing this and it is actually kind of frustrating but still lets hope for the best!!!!!!

 Honestly I am a little bit stressed out since the due date is everytime closer and I am still finding my way to edit the project but I will do this! :) in a way this blog has always worked for me for catharsis from the process of doing this project.

The process

So this was my first week of doing online school, and honestly I have always been interested on doing online school since I like the opportunity of teaching myself and being able to manage my own time; and honestly this has been possible since this method of doing school allows me to do more of my hobbies and I end up less tired from doing the school work since I guess physically going to school makes you more tired. But well that has been different lately, and honestly due to the work that I have to do to prepare for my AP exams, which adapted to the quarantine style;I haven't had the time to focus on the project. But once in a while I am back to editing and looking what can I do with what I filmed.

As I look to my material, I have good videos and plenty of the same shot but I am honestly struggling on deciding which ones to use since some of them have better acting but the audio is messed up, and vice-versa; so today I decided to re-clean my file of the project in order to edit more calm. And I say re-clean because somehow my computer re-uploaded the videos so I have two of every video and the ones I deleted, reappeared :)

So yup today I will clean my files, download the song and start editing. You guys may think, mhm...is she going to start right now? um...yes. Before I could not concentrate, and I also had school work that was keeping me busy, and the theatre production that I am participating in, requires me to practice the choreography and clean it, so a lot of practice needed. Therefore, I am going to be honest, it has been really hard for me to edit the project since when I get the chance I get scared of all the work I have to do to make it work; and how I struggled doing the simplest things such as uploading the videos to the editing program and putting it in a file of my documents instead of being just in the part of pictures (I don't know if you guys understand what I am trying to say but even though it sounds like an absurd excuse, it has been an actual struggle). BUT, I was able to solve it, so here I will be cleaning the files and start editing. Again. :)
