Production Blog: Editing The War Scene

 






Greetings My Lovelies,



The war scenes were filmed first, because they were the most accessible. I wanted this scene to be very grim. Again I used CapCut for all the editing, personally I believe, it’s just the best. I wanted this scene to be very grim. It should tell a tragic story and get the viewers really, invested. First, I began with a peaceful scene. You see the beach and the ambience of the waves and seagulls grace the listeners ears.

Then suddenly, it shifts with a shake screen effect. I used the “Dark Brown” filter to portray a vintage vibe and times of destress and of course war. There are bomb sounds that overlap with a crowd screaming to support this idea. The audio gradually, fades in. I used a voice effect, so the song sounds as if it were trickling from an old record player, to add structure to the scene.

After the climax of this scene, it was time to show the depression of Girl 2. Distraught by the loss of her best friend, Girl 2 , drags across the shore helplessly. To achieve this I changed the clips to a greyscale. I also, made sure to zoom in on certain aspects, such as how the girl holds her slippers loosely and the melancholy look on her face.

Alas, we have the ‘Waking up Scene’ there are many things I thought could have been better. The background could have been less busier and the lighting could be more grim. Aside from this I was glad with the dramatic effect this scene had. This scene shows girl 1 waking up from her dream-vision and finds beside her a relic of her past. The sudden jolt of the girl along with the cutaway to the kalimba has a sort of Dutch effect.

In the end my lovelies, I really enjoyed editing this scene and I believe I really explored a bit more of editing with each clip.
