Editing, Editing, Editing

Hello to my lovely readers, today I need to give you all an update about the editing. The editing process has been going great, it's much more relaxed than filming was. For the most part, Ashleigh and Britanique did most of the editing, since I was the main character in the movie. I did give some suggestions and input.
Most of the editing has been piecing the clips together and putting them in order. The other two main things have been the title designs and audio. It is important for the title designs not to distract viewers from the scenes. I thought that they should be placed in the corner at first. However, after a discussion with Ashleigh and Britanique they'll be in different spots.
Not only did clips need to be put together, but the quaility needed to be good. All of the shots were filmed on Ashleigh and Britanique's phones since they would be the ones to edit. My phone was used as a prop. Sam is on the phone for the first and last scene and then it is visibly shown in Sam's back pocket.
One of the most important things I learned about in editing is what should be done in filming to make editing easier. It's the same thing I always learn, including last year's projects. For example, making shots longer than they should be. Start the video first, then have the actors start, and then end the video. Also, making sure that there is time before the actors start moving/talking, as well as after too. This allows for the clips to be cut during editing, instead of during filming. All in all, editing has been a smooth process which makes it enjoyable.
