Editing Day 1

Editing Day 1

Now that I have finished recording, it is time for the editing phase of this project. Since this film opening is a bit heavy on the editing side, it might take a while to wrap up the editing. When making this film, it was known that editing would be key to ensure that every little detail could be told. 

Today was spent on learning how to use Photoshop to be able to create a cutout of someone to make a character card. It took a while since the application had to download first, but after that and after watching a few videos, I was able to figure out how to do it. After learning how to do a cutout of someone, I also had to learn how to make the background a clear background. this took longer than the actual cutout since, after multiple iterations of saving the picture, it got a bit annoying, so I had to take a break and finish this later.

Above is an example of a prototype of what might be used as a Character Card. This is also just an outline of what it could/should look like at the end. I am planning to let the Character Cards run about 3 seconds each so that it has time for it to pop up, but also time for the viewer to get a chance to read the actual card. In this character card, it is still missing the graphic for the view details about this character and who the actual actor is, but that is still being figured out on where the exact position of it will be since it is different for each character.
