Documentary #4

 #4

    I was the one responsible for all of the editing behind the documentary, I was running out of time and had to edit the entire thing in less than a day which was stressful and forced me to cut a lot of corners, especially due to a lack of certain aspects that would have been necessary for this documentary to be good. For one, I asked Nina if she could get music for the video which she never got to, I later found out she had an emergency and couldn't get to it so I just used my usual pick for music when I don't know what to use, Claire De Lune by Claude Debussy, the song wasn't a great fit but it was good enough for my melancholy dialogue and blue and liminal looking footage.

    Another big problem I ran into was that Alejandro was still working on the script while I was editing so the whole video was essentially a train going at full speed while train tracks were being placed in front of it. It was a messy, problematic, and unfruitful production, and after the headache it was to get this video together I doubt that next time I'll do as I did here, I'll probably work with a different group and focus more on planning.
