Editing Blog

After every filming day, we put all our shots together to see what we need. And how long all our other things need to take. Alexa owns a MacBook and uses it to edit. She is very talented at editing. She is a very motivated person. She genuinely enjoys editing on her own time. We'll have little study dates on days we're not filming. We'll just sit and work on the project. Bouncing ideas back fourth during editing. During school, we'd occasionally meet up to work on the project together. I would go to her study hall and help her edit. When filming, I struggled with laughing on important takes. Like the ambulance and throwing up scene. They were both scenes that we couldn't re-shoot. The ambulance scene was very long and the bell was about to ring for the next period. And during the throwing up scene, there was no way we were going to do that again. After that scene everything was full of fake vomit so we'd have to clean everything up and do it all over again. And that wasn't an option. I would accidentally laugh, but I would keep going. So when Alexa was putting it all together she cut in a way that would skip over that scene so that you wouldn't see me laugh. But that it still flowed well. The software Alexa is using is iMovie. We had low storage on both our phones so after every filming day I would airdrop the clips to Alexa's mac.
