EDITING
By Myiesha
As I opened my computer to edit, I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the end was near. Although a part of me knew we could have done better, I can only move forward knowing that I am someone who experiments with as many softwares as possible, so working with just one wouldn't work for me. I chose Davinci Resolve 18 as my primary software because it has various divisions or units such as the media portal, timeline, fusion, colour grading, and rendering that make the editing process easier.
Another app I used was Capcut; I didn't want to waste time at school, so I edited on my phone; why not bring your computer, you ask? Because my laptop decided to crash whenever I tried to edit or was so slow, editing on my phone was more convenient. Another reason I edited on Capcut was the wide range of effects available, which made my life easier.
It's gotten to the point where I can hear "LET ME LET YOU GO!!" in my sleep, constantly thinking of ways to improve and constantly bugging maroosh it, as you can see. Our music video was first seen one hour before our media class.
Once I began editing, I concentrated on finding ways to animate and wanted to add a unique twist by adding a voice over in tagalog (filipino) to further emphasise the mood and create some sort of emotional connection. I provided the voices for both characters.
I chose a very minimalist animation style to save time, despite the fact that I did use around 533 frames, which varied for clips where I used 16 or 24 frames per second. According to my art teacher, "there is beauty in simplicity," which explains the simplistic art style that I created using flipa clip and ibspaint to create prototypes.
To eliminate any aburpt cuts, I believe I had a clever way of blending the two worlds, that is, glitches as if we were watching TV in the 1970s or 1990s to provide a nostalgic feel.
In terms of colour grading, we wanted to use colour codes to convey meaning while also creating an aesthetically pleasing video. We used cooler tones in areas where we saw the character in distress, and we used relatively warmer tones in other clips to show the character's joy or feelings softening.
