Re-Edit Blog: Final Task

Today is Friday, March 20th, and as of currently I am on track to complete my Final Task. As I shared in the previous blog, I have encountered some unexpected and unavoidable delays. For instance, the spread of COVOID-19 has left me at home self-isolating to prevent myself from contracting the virus. Additionally, the virus has left many without necessary items or jobs. As such, my parents are worried and preparing, leaving them very little time reshoot certain scenes. As such all I can from home is continue editing and perfecting my Final Product in the post-production process. A few weeks ago, I wrote a peer-review blog regarding an early stage of my video. In the blog I discussed the process of the peer review and how I specifically graded some else early stage draft. However, I was also given feed-back regarding my film, as well as, some necessary changes that needed to happen. I have only recently implemented these changes.

As stated previously, I have only reviewed the critiques and implemented the changes recently. As such, I will list the changes that I have made. To begin with, there was an incident in the filming process where the equipment, my hand, was visible. It can be seen in the picture above. In order to adjust this I had to crop the video. I found this to be difficult, however, because in the preview certain clips would be different sizes. This meant the video would have black bars in some places. Eventually, I fount the option to crop the video instead of trimming and it seems to have fixed the issue. Another situation that was outlined in the peer-review was my lack of certain shots. For instance, I was missing an establishing shot, a tilt, and a medium shot. I plan to address and implement these changes once I have done my re-shoot. To end on a positive note, the peer-review outlined some things that I did right. My draft was within the proper time limit, I placed the titles in the correct order, my transitions weren't choppy, and my edits did not take away from the sequence.
