Progress Journal: Editing our film

When we finished shooting on the Beach on Monday, it was already 6 o'clock. Tung Tung and I went back to school to edit our film since the due date for our film was originally Tuesday (but it was then postponed). We captured the footage and dragged the clips into the timeline. The film was roughly finished, but there was no audio and the sound quality was poor.

When editing on the next few days, I discovered that the drama studio setting didn't really look like a fair sideshow and the audience would misunderstand and think it is a desert. It didn't really look as realistic as it would be in the auditorium. I also learnt new editing skills through online tutorials and by exploring the softwares. We had poor lighting and sounds, but I managed to improve the lighting by adjusting the colour of the clips and the sounds by using music for covering up and adjusting the volume. Another obstacle is that you can see the ocean and buildings in the frame. I tried to crop those parts out, but unfortunately, it didn't work for the buildings, which affected the overall realism of the setting in our film. The film turned out to be a lot better with improved audio and improved lighting.
