Week 23 (Editing)

 We've done great with the project so far! We've got all the outdoor scenes and a couple of the school shots done, so we're about halfway through. As the deadline is approaching, we figured it was time to start editing. To our surprise, we had no issues bringing our footage into Premiere Pro, which was a relief in itself. We're both totally psyched about the editing process, and we've decided to go the whole way with it. We've been experimenting with all sorts of color grades and effects in an attempt to get the footage as similar as possible to how we had envisioned it originally when we first started brainstorming the project. We're going out of our way to experiment and get the clips as lively as they can be. Of course, we've also had a little bit of a challenge. The biggest issue is that the graphics and text we've added are slowing down the computers. It hasn't been an easy thing to get everything so efficient, particularly when we are making some quick edits that don't have to be a problem. Aside from that, the computers seem to be degrading some of our photos. To work around this, we’ve been using color grading and other editing tricks to try and enhance the footage, but it’s definitely been a bit of a struggle to get everything looking just right. Even with these hurdles, we’re staying optimistic and pushing forward, knowing that the final product will be worth the effort!
