The Joys of Editing (Otherwise Known as Spending Hours on a Couple of Seconds)

Clip 1 (establishing Brittney and her setting)

Clip 2 (adding suspense to lead up to Brittney's murder)

Speed and length of clips was always a debate between Chancellor, Jacob, and I, with the pacing and meaning of clips often decided by these factors. Readjusting lighting digitally was always a struggle, and we watched far too many YouTube tutorials on how to do so. The pacing of the clips feels a bit rushed, but given the time limit we must stay within, it felt difficult not to keep a hurried pace to convey our plot. Although we realized some continuity errors during the editing process, they were often very small details only somebody who had worked on the project would notice. Hopefully, these mistakes are not enough to detract from our message.

Because we edited the video on Jacob's computer (and exporting takes far too long), these clips do not include the entire film opening, but are from the beginning of our editing process. We are in the process of adding sound into our film opening (including some foley, narration, and ambient music, but these clips had not yet had sound added to them.
