The second time filming and editing was so much easier. This time I…
-Made a list of where I wanted to film
-Had an idea of how each scene was going to be filmed (panning of the camera, angle)
-Made an outline of the order of scenes
-As I watched the draft videos, I made a list of things to change and checked it off.
Of course, some strokes of luck also helps.
– Had the inspiration to use ‘fade to black’ transition to imitate somebody blinking
– Found out dragging a scene from the Event box to overlap a Project scene allows quick selection of effects (Insert the scene, overlay, just overlay the audio…!)
– I happened to be filming during golden hour (1 hour before sunset) and that time of day gives videos a warm glow! Hurray for daylight savings.
