Project: Post production/editing part 2

 My second part of editing. 

So far editing has been fine. The only two issues I came across are some shots I need to retake and the limitations that Adobe Express has, such as limited movements and animation ability (Or maybe there is and I'm just dumb). But other than that, sound effects and music are all good.

Personally I like putting the music up first before beginning to put together the different shots. The music helps me get in the mood and makes my work look better while I am editing. I will have to make some adjustments to some of the sound effects since some of them are too low to hear.

I will also have to adjust the contrast of some shots since the background can be seen a bit. Again, I mentioned before that I don't have a proper black backdrop, so I used black wrapping paper instead which is a bit reflective. 

Shots

I would like to explain some shots I took inspiration from.

This shot is from the movie Interstellar, taken from the rocket launch scene when the rocket begins to separate. 

I really liked this shot because it was one of the first shots I took, and the black background and the bright lighting really makes it look like the black void of space.

I mentioned before the the really dark lighting to mask the background and make the shot look like space is from Stanley Kubrick on his film 2001.

This shot here was inspired from Blade Runner 2049. 

I wanted to mention this shot since most of my other shots are inspired from space movies, so I wanted to show some outside inspiration of the space sub-genre. Specifcally Blade Runner 2049 is a neo-noir film.

I really liked how the lighting came out, and the clear plastic as the windows makes a cool effect when light is shined on it. I am proud that I really nailed the blue and dark look, like what a real spacecraft would see when it breaks through the atmosphere.
