Hi, so I have basically edited 75% of the opening. I did not expect the shots that we took last weekend to be more than enough than we needed. I knew we would not be short of clips, but I am more than happy to see that if we wanted to change something about our opening, we could due to the various clips I could pull from.
I am a little worried though, because I find myself cringing at the scene with the dialogue between my characters. I realize that the genre is meant to be a cringy/cliché romance, so I have to remind myself that we have just followed the typical conventions of a romantic comedy. I also noted that the conversation seemed unrealistic and choppy with the cuts. After taking in feedback, I realized that I just have to cut each scene a little sooner than I have been doing, so that it resembles a real conversation in which people reply quickly. I think this will make the scene much more sophisticated than it is right now. I want to play around with the sound as well because unfortunately the sounds of the children playing in a pool nearby are heard in some clips and frankly is driving me crazy. If I can not get rid of it, I do not think it will negatively impact the final product. It is just my perfectionism that makes me cringe whenever I hear the sounds of the children, I suppose.
