Today I finalised the edit of the short film. I firstly focused on ensuring that all of the clips were in the correct order and that they where all cut to the right point so that the film flowed perfectly.
After this, I started ordering the sound bed together by adding sounds such as brushing teeth, walking up the stairs, keyboard typing sounds, etc. After doing this and ensuring that the sounds sounded natural, I attempted to add some L and J cuts. For example, I brought in some footsteps sounds before the actor left the kitchen to ensure that the sounds blended well together instead of the obvious sound of cuts.
After this, I colour graded and corrected the the scenes, I added warmer tones and boosted the saturation to imply the fact that it is supposed to be morning. I also added widescreen bars to finalise the edit.
