| Final stage of editing in Premiere Pro - Caroline Wong |
To edit the photos, I wanted to retain the dark look to the images without losing the garment or the model. It was tricky editing to get the best of both worlds as changing the brightness and contrast both gave displeasing results. In the end, for most of the photos, I toyed around with the hue of the images as well as the shadowing and highlights. Again, the graininess of the images was something I enjoyed as I felt they worked well for my target audience (Dazed & Confused readers).
Editing the film was a long process. First, I had to detach all the audio from the clips and render them in black and white. After the initial piecing together, I then recorded the speaking soundtrack in time to the film as it played. There was a few times where I had to rerecord as I either spoke too fast or too slow but all in all, it was plain sailing up until this point as I had planned everything out from the shots to the script of the film. I had also previously recorded additional audio that I knew I wanted to use in the run up to shooting day and these included sounds such as shoes clacking on the floor and boiling water as it bubbles. The aim of this inclusion of everyday and mundane noises was to symbolise that depression could happen to anybody. Everybody walks on the pavement. Everybody has to cook. Everybody is susceptible to a mental health disorder.
I then exported the movie from iMovie into Premiere Pro as there is a lot more freedom when customising text in the Adobe programme. The longest part of the editing process was adding in subtitles as I wanted to subtitle my voice as it played in the background of the film. As it took a long time, I learnt that subtitling is time consuming especially when you're not using a specific programme designed for subtitling. Either way, now that I've done it, I know that I'm capable of doing it again and I'll be much faster in the future.
