Production Blog: Connections In CapCut

 After two days of filming, I decided to do some editing. I redownloaded CapCut since it's the only editing app I can use. It's gotten some new updates since I last used it, which were kind of annoying, but it didn't take long for me to get back into the swing of things. Since it was updated, we were hoping they would add a collaborative feature. That way, Ash and I could edit simultaneously rather than her having to wait until I've finished visuals to start on sound. Unfortunately, they didn't add this feature. We just got TikTok templates. Yay. We didn't have a lot of content at this point but seeing it in numbers really put things into perspective. We had only one minute and 41 seconds worth of content. And this was before I cropped out bloopers, which means we had even less. This worried me because we only had three days of filming left. Would we have enough to make a five-minute film? One thing I noticed that would need serious editing throughout the clips is the brightness. It's really dull and icky, which isn't what we were going for in this film. Another thing that needs serious editing is the sound. Since most of our scenes are filmed on different parts of the beach, the wind is incredibly strong, making it hard to hear the actors. We could mute the sound and do a voiceover instead, but it won't match up well, and I'd rather not do that. Ash is usually in charge of audio, so I'm hoping she'll be able to somehow lower the wind sounds a little bit. Other than that, it's going okay so far. We managed to get good scenes that transition well, so we don't need a lot of filler scenes. I'm not feeling the adventure aspect yet, but I'm hoping that'll change once we actually have all the clips.
