Post Production process CCR 1 & 2

Last week I did my first video where I answered questions of CCRs 1 and 2. What I did was to record a video of myself answering the questions and including visuals, like photos and videos. I did this because I find it very informative and useful.

I started out to write out the script, which I did after creating the Blogs, on the Blog posts I put all the information I wanted to consider and then I wrote the script more brief. After this, I went over the script a couple times and started recording in the bedroom. It was like at 6 pm when I started recording and it got late so at the end you can tell is getting late. But, it went well, it took about an hour an a half because I wanted everything to sound well. But... when I started hearing the footage again, I noticed that in some parts, my siblings can be heard in the background talking or yelling, and honestly I did not tell until I was editing. I hope that is not a problem though.

Right after I finished recording, I started to arrange everything in DaVinci Resolve. Ohhh... and I forgot to tell you guys, that before recording I started looking up for the visuals I wanted to include, like references from other films, which I looked up on YouTube and also the pictures I already had from my past Blog posts. So, I started organizing my footage at night and then the next day started actually editing. I started putting the visuals I already had and also included some footage from my opening film. I had everything in a file so it was easier to edit this way, having everything together and organized. 

I already knew what I wanted to add in each part so it went fast, since i had it planned. In most of the film references I had to put the title, so I had to add titles there and also for the questions I put them on screen.

For the visuals that needed to be read, I wanted to add these kind of highlights and I did not know if I was going to be able to do them on this platform, but I could! I looked it up and it was a confusing process at the beginning but kept doing it and it went well. For some of the visuals, I had already highlighted it while taking the screenshot, so I did not put this highlight on these parts, just in some.

This editing process was not difficult, what I can say is that being organized and having a plan prior to filming was very important. At the end I added the sources in a scroll mode and that was it!! I finished editing this, but I am thinking if I should add any music to it at the background. it think I will!
