CCR editing

 Post production is basically where all the separate parts of my project finally came together to make a real movie. I spent most of this time using technology to change the mood and make sure the audience understood the story.

I used Clipchamp for all the main editing. One of my biggest goals was to use Stuart Hall and his theory about encoding. I did this by adding a creepy background noise under the talking to encode a feeling of fear. I also used the color tools to make the car scenes look blue and cold. This made the vibe feel more lonely and trapped.

 For the actual CCR video I included screen recordings of me working in Canva and my Clipchamp timeline. This lets people see how I layered the video and sound together. I also had to focus on the pacing of the clips. I cut the footage to match the beat of the music so the audience stays interested. This is like the hypodermic needle theory because it tries to get a fast emotional reaction out of the viewers through what they see and hear.

 The last part was making sure the film was ready for distribution. By putting my project on a public link it is like what independent films have to do in the real world. They have to make their work easy to find for companies like A24 or different streaming services.
