Editing Time!

 Alright so I have begun the editing process and I'm currently pretty far along with that. I'm mostly done with the line edit (putting all the clips in order and having them at the length they should be) and I've done a little bit of color grading. I'm really happy with how it's looking, and while a lot of it feels kind of awkward without music or sound effects, that will soon change. Making the line edit is actually fun because, and I know I sound like a broken record but it's true, I can feel the film I've been dreaming of for the past two months come to life. Color grading, on the other hand, is a tedious process that should be used as a military torture method, however it's nice seeing the visuals of the movie improve with a few clicks. As you can see, I split the line edit into three sequences, which makes it easier for me to organize and know where I am in the timeline.

Last Tuesday, I filmed the last clips I needed, which are the shots of the character Agent Siegel calling in to assign the Abnormals their mission. I filmed them against a green screen and added this background which I felt was properly retro and fit the movies vibe. Really, the main reason I used a green screen was because it would be really obvious that the Abnormals HQ and the office Agent Siegel is calling from are both just my house. I have a small house where all the walls look the same, that's why.

Stay tuned for my next post, where I'll discuss how I've been marketing the film on social media!
