CCR Editing
CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION
So for my ccr video, I decided to do a directors commentary with facecam on instead of a voiceover. I think doing the director's commentary will give me more confidence in future.
Anyways here's the timeline/sequence of CCR video

Deleted Scene
Deleted Scene
like every other movie shoot. We had one deleted scene too which didn't make the final cut. Fortunately we had only one deleted scene and the rest of them were executed nicely to make the final cut.
Also, this is without any captions. Its basically the scene we planned instead of the first Canteen scene in school
Anyways here's the link to it.

Project Draft
Project Draft
I had over 5-6 complete drafts for this project but I uploaded one/two for my project partner to see and suggest suggestions.

this was without captions or any credits. Also, some sound changes were also made after this draft.

Technical Editing
Technical Editing
In this post i'll be showing you some of the editing techniques i used for each scene/film.
Screenshot below is the sequence/timeline for Anas's night bed scene where he wakes up from the dream.
So here you can see the dots going up and down. Basically thats volume level in simpler terms. As the Editor & Director i knew where the each sound effect should be and where should it be faded and where db should be high or low.
Here I had to each angle I took during production so I sort of created 5-6 layers for each angle I had and added them over different scenes.

Editing Phase
Editing
I've been practising adobe premier pro for over 2 years. As mentioned before in my blog I started with editing Video Game montages back then. But now I wanted a new challenge thus why I chose media studies in my A levels
For this project, i took things slow i started with editing one scene first then the second in different adobe projects. later i compiled them together and then made some changes for the final draft.
Sound Editing For Project
Sound
As we know, sound is a very complicated aspect of editing. However, without sound there's simply no movie. its one of the main components that make up a good movie all together.
i spent most of my time on editing sound. it took me more than a day to gather all the sound effects for my movie
Choosing the right sound for the right moment can be challenging sometimes but sound as a whole does make the movie experience better for one
