As I continue this journey in bringing "Marked Shadows" to life, I wanted to show you deeper into the editing process. While the first blog post of the editing process focused on the initial stages of editing, today's post will explain more in-depth of these editing techniques I implemented.
Changing transmissions:
Now that the rough cuts are complete, it's time to focus on fine-tuning the transition between shots. Our goal is for every transition to be smooth and seamless, leading the viewer's eye from one scene to the next without harsh breaks. This involves experimenting with different transmission effects and adjusting the timing of cuts.
Advanced visual effects:
In addition to transitions, we also work on enhancing the visual effects of certain scenes. Whether it's adding atmospheric elements like fog or intensifying special lighting effects, I would use editing software to bring these shots to life. This step requires careful attention to detail and experimentation to achieve the desired visual impact to match the theme.
Balance audio levels:
Sound is just as important as visuals in creating an immersive viewing experience, so I spent time balancing sound levels and fine-tuning the mix. This includes adjusting the volume of dialogue, music and sound effects to ensure everything sounds clear and balanced. I also pay close attention to sound design elements such as Foley effects that enhance the sense of realism in each scene.
Color grading test:
Color grading plays an important role in creating the mood of the film's opening, so I experimented with different color grading techniques to achieve the desired look. From increasing contrast and saturation to adjusting color temperature, every choice I made affected the overall visual style of the film.
