As I moved into the second half of my editing, my focus shifted from building suspense to making the piece reflect the comedy. The second half needs to feel lighter and character driven. I therefore adjusted the pacing and the shot selection to reflect the shift of tone.
I increased my editing pace compared to the suspense scene. In this section, since it's a conversation, I plan to increase the editing pace in order to show more movement, therefore making it so that the piece isn't so boring. This way, the cuts feel more fluid and allow the dialogue and rhythm to guide each other throughout. I incorporated both two-shots and over the shoulder shots as well as medium and long shots. Using this variation, I am able to establish the friendship dynamic and make the chemistry feel authentic.
I am also experimenting with color, and trying to make the suspense scenes darker while making the conversation lighter. However, I'm unsure about how this will turn out, and will only implement this if I know that it'll work.
I am slightly behind my timeline, but splitting my editing process was easy to keep me focused on the scene at hand and make sure that each scene was edited properly.
All that remains now is perfecting the final cut, implementing my title, and the color grading. Once this is done, my piece will be ready for the big screens.
