Editing

 

Editing Process / Post-Production

I learned how to do Color Grading in Vegas Pro 18 by watching this tutorial from YouTube :

This is the result I got from learning how to color grade by watching the tutorial above :

This is the part where we select the best footages we have caught to the software.

This is the part where we rearrange the footages into the timeline to make it look seamless and more smoother with different transitions. ( I also used sounds made from other creators from YouTube )

This is the part where we manipulate the footage to add color grading, effects, subtitles and make it look more cinematic for the audience to enjoy.

This is our other editing process of our media project. 

first i aligned the clips together and picked out the song

i went with Can I call you rose by thee sacred souls. I aligned the texts so that it appears on beat with the intro of the music. 

for the coloring of the clips, i added a combination of filters and adjusted the brightness, exposure, highlights, temperatures. for around half an hour, i researched in tiktok to find inspiration for color grading to get the atmosphere that i am aiming for. I took inspiration from a video in tiktok.

for the last section of the audio, i wanted to make it muffled. However, it requires capcut pro which i do not want to buy, so i screen recorded the audio, then replaced the original audio with the screen recorded one. 

for the font i had to experiment with different fonts and i decided to use the first one as it gives off more of a retro old tv vibe. The decision to put end credits is my idea. although most ads do not have end credits, i want our project to stand out and look further more like a film.

Mr Nick gave us feedback and criticism about how some things in our ad doesnt ad up. so we took his advice and changed the intro as well as the ending. although i did like the sunset clip of the intro, i took it down and replaced it with the black screen. i changed the text to match mr nicks advice and for the ending i removed the credits.

Self-Reflection : Everything went wrong as the color grading was very too yellow or too blue. So, Max did the editing and it turned out good as she used Capcut as her editing software thus, we picked her edited footage as our final result. I'll try a better software as that software was very bad in doing the coloring I wanted and expected it to be so, probably I'll try After Effects and see how that goes in the next project hope, it'll be good.
