Editing + Refilm

April 04, 2018

Hello! So this week I've been editing my film a lot  to get the visuals just right. Hopefully I'll finish the process between today and tomorrow. I'm hoping to re-film the bathroom footage I have, which is where Leo looks at his watch and goes back in time. The reason being is that the footage I have now is really poorly lit. The watch I used for the film is also really awful, and you can barely see the image on the face. Look at this snippet from the shot:


To fix this problem I tried experimenting with the exposure on iMovie, but it simply doesn't make the cut. I think today I'm going to re-film in another public restroom (since the location doesnt really matter for that) with better lighting. I'm also using another watch (an Apple watch) which is what I had originally planned but couldn't get ahold of one last minute. Hopefully the footage will come together better this time.

Besides that, all other aspects of editing are going pretty smoothly. I just need to work a lot to make sure my 5 min time frame is perfect!
