editing......

 Unfortunately, I no longer could procrastinate editing.... and I just finished! (kind of) 

I put all the clips together, added foley sounds, added the song my friend made (which sounds amazing), but I haven't added the title or the credits. Mostly just because I don't know what fonts to use (will make a blog post about it when I get there). Anyways, editing took me about 2-3 hours and it was stressful. 

I started off with Premiere Pro but then in the middle of editing.... I got a screen saying I was signed out because I was signed into another device (and I didn't). Then, when I signed back in, it hadn't saved what  I had done and I was already almost half way done and so I got so mad. 

Therefore, Premiere was already annoying me and I didn't know how to use it that well, so I switched to iMovie on my phone. It actually worked pretty well and was able to get almost everything done. However, I might have to switch back to premiere to add special effects to the kill scene because right now it looks terrible and not scary at all. I was thinking of maybe adding eye slowly blinking or a glitch of some sort. My actor just didn't know how to properly and scarily swing a bat, and it's already too late to reshoot it because I returned the bat and it is not going to get here in time :( 

Special effects has to be the way to go! Because if not then it's just going to look terrible. What's frustrating is that the rest of the film isn't bad and I've grown to like it, but the kill scene is the most important part of a horror movie intro so I can't just completely cut it out. Plus, the audience needs to know that Lily was killed with a baseball/softball. 

Moral of the story: don't procrastinate editing incase there's anything you need to refilm!

Anyways, the song my friend made turned out SO good and I love it so much. I even added it as background music on my podcast! It sounds like an old folk song which for some reason is perfect and was exactly what I was looking for?? He sent me like 6 different videos of the same song and he was just messing around with the tunes. I ended up picking the first one because it was my favorite and the most "clean".

I decided to add the climax part of the song near the end after Lily's death and the slower part throughout the film and during the kill scene.
