Editing software and graphics

 EDITING SOFTWARE AND GRAPHICS

Software

Virginia and I have been doing editing and television production for a while, so we are both familiar with Adobe software and how it works. Funny enough, I am certified in Adobe  2018 Photoshop and Premier, meaning I’m very familiar with the tools and aspects of the software. I’m unsure of what Virginia is certified in, but based on seeing her past work, I know that she is also skilled with this technology. 

Graphics

One thing that she knows how to use that I don’t is Adobe After Effects. I have only used it once for a project and it took me ages to do, while Virginia can create graphics in just minutes. For our opening, we are planning on having the letters of our names and the titles big and bold. Additionally, to create the creepy and out-of-place nature of our opening, a few of the letters of our name will be crooked or reflected. We’re doing this so that all names and positions will still be legible and clear, but still confusing and mysterious. 

Editing

The video’s editing will be fast-paced up until the other characters are introduced. As the clips go back and forth to Steve awakening and going into panic with where he has awoken, the graphics will appear at random in between quick and bold. This will cause tension and suspense throughout the beginning of our video. Once Dainty is introduced, the cuts will get slower to formally introduce her and have more focus on who this mysterious figure must be. From that point the edits will stay smooth until Maria is introduced, bringing back that hectic energy. All the cuts made will reflect the tone of the scene so that the audience can feel the same type of anxiety that Steve is feeling.
