Editing Short Film- part 2

     After i had everything downloaded onto iMovie and almost done the taking parts out and cropping each clip i had, i began watching over every clip to see if it had sounds in the background and most of them did so i had to go over every clip and cut the beginnings of most of them out. I was good though because i did have almost 10 minutes of the clips when they weren't edited but then after i did that i had around 7 minutes. After i did that i started fixing the volumes on each clip because i had some clips that the volume was too loud due to wind or it was too quiet so i had to go over most them and either put the volume up or down. Most of the clips were fine i just had issues with the clips that were shot outside due to the wind it was too loud and too hard to hear if there was any dialogue. After everything little thing i did to the film i went and re-watched the whole thing to make sure nothing was missing and to make sure i didn't accidentally edit something out that was important, every little detail is important and very noticeable if there is a mistake. Luckily i didn't make any mistake but i did forget a couple details every time.

After i was done using iMovie i began using an app called Splice. I honestly thought that it wouldn't work but it was actually a good app to work with and it was easy to use. I was a little confused at first but i got the hang of it after a while. Using Splice i worked with adding subtitles and added things that were needed. I did have to wait a couple days for Lucio to available for us to work on it together because since it was just us 2 in the group we had to use our voices to voice over the other characters that were in the short film but didn't appear in it such as coach and Lucio's mother. After adding the subtitles all i had left was to place them on the right place of the screen and the right timing and added some sound affects such as the ambulance sirens when he got injured and added them as background noise to make it seem like they were far away but still close and on their way.
