A Bit of Background

For the next five weeks, I will be a part of a five week intensive film program at Northwestern University. It is called the Film and Video Division of the National High School Institute. We are also called the Cherubs. Every day, I take five two hour classes on film topics such as Screenwriting, Production, Editing, and Animation. I am keeping this blog so that I can keep my friends and family updated on my experience in the NHSI.

Post Production

Hey everybody!

     For once I had time to blog here, but I lost internet the past two days, and have just now gotten it back. I have spent twelve hours in the editing room and will spend four more in there this afternoon. I'm fairly close to it being picturelocked (meaning I will no longer change the visuals) and then I can move on to sound design, and if time, color correction. Editing is like a puzzle, because you have a bunch of pieces, and they need to fit together to communicate. However, it's also different because not every piece is used, so you have to figure out which ones work best. The next four hours will be crunch time, and then I will be finished with my film.
    My film is clearly a student film. It's not brilliant, but I'm proud to say that it's mine.
