the begining of editing

 We're finally starting to actually edit. As I said before, it would be a little more complicated to edit because we could not all be together. Joaquina and Amy chose the music for me to use. We emailed a few people but only two responded. King Princess's manager and Danger Incorporated's manager gave us approval to use their music. From King Princess, we would be using the song "Cheap Queen" and from Danger Incorporated we would be using the song "Diamonds." Although we had other songs that we wanted more, we were glad to get approval from any of the artists. The next thing I wanted my group to do was tell me how they wanted the film to be edited. Joaquina and I both agreed that we wanted it to be edited similar to how many young adult/lgbtq+ films are edited. This means that there were little to no transitions. It also meant that the editing made the film look very smooth, with not a lot of cuts. Just like everything in our film had the conventions of lgbtq+ films, we wanted our editing to be the same. We hoped that even without the plotline, it was obvious our film was in the lgbtq+ genre. Through our editing, clothes, young characters, and dialogue, we hoped to achieve that. They also told me that when we watched the film, we wanted to feel a sense of contentment and excitedness for the characters. My group told me that if I could do that with editing, it would be great. I said he would try to make it happen and that I had the same vision as them. It's great that our whole group had the same vision and was excited to see our project come alive. I told My group that there would be no exterior shots because we did not have time, which was the only thing that we missed with the conventions. We're finally done with our film and I'm so excited, I can't wait for everyone to see it. Stay tuned on the next blog to see how Covid-19 affected filming, editing, and more.
