Last time editing!

 When it came down to editing my CCR videos, I struggled to stay under 11 minutes... This was a big issue and it had me worrying, I had talked for a bit too much but thankfully I was able to cut some footage down and end up passing by just barely with 10 minutes and 56 seconds in total for both videos combined! I had a lot of important points I wanted to cover and explain, so I tried not to cut out too much. For the software I used a mix of Adobe Premier Pro again and iMovie. I don't have a lot of experience with iMovie, except for a few projects in the past but it was fun to use something new and see what they had to offer. 

I incorporated a lot of media into my editing, this was my main focus. I used many audios and sound effects from Pixabay. For my fan mail CCR video I used this song in the background to keep the video interesting. Then for my sound effects in both of my videos, I used a surprise sound effect, cricket sound effect, applause sound effect, and a sad trombone one. Since all of these from Pixabay are copyright free, it made my editing go so much faster and smoother, it was extremely convenient.

Another big thing I added in both of my CCR videos when I edited them was overlays of photos and icons. I mentioned a lot of thing from my research that I posted about on my blogs, such as some names of pre-existing horror movies that I researched. Then I added in photos of the main social media software's I was talking about, and some examples of popular movie festivals across the U.S. Something fun I decided to incorporate into my editing was when I was talking about how I used a stabilizer for my shots to reduce the look of a hand-held effect, I added a shake effect onto the clip, it contradicted what I was saying and it was something fun I stumbled across when playing around with the special effects.

The last major thing I edited into my CCR videos was sample posts of the official Haunted Memories Instagram account! This was so fun to make, I uploaded photos I took behind the scenes of filming and editing days. I screen recorded me scrolling through the posts, and added it into the fan mail CCR video. The account is accessible to the public, and the posts are up! It can be found @hauntedmemories.official on Instagram.
