Editing Master Shot Sequence
The edit to the master shot sequence was quite easy initially. I put together a quick edit of the shoot the night of the shoot and it looked pretty good. We needed to grab a few shots for cut-aways and an establishing shot, but we captured everything we hoped to get for the bulk of the short. Time was against us as we all work and and many other projects to pay attention to, but we got the edit finalized. At first syncing up the sound was priority but went pretty easily as we marked our spots and could sync without much trouble. As we did get all of the shots on our list for main story to hold true, continuity was no issue. I was able to add the establishing shot and a couple of cut-aways and we were fortunate enough shoot just enough footage with plenty of angles to make some good cuts and keep the story moving forward. After I finished the full story with synced sound and adding music it was time for color correction. I am somewhat new to color grading and found it to be a bit time consuming as the light outdoors changes frequently and matching each shot is essential. I didn't do too much other than working with some balance, but mostly worked with exposure and contrast. Editing is time consuming but quite rewarding when you see the final product.
