One thing that definitely had me a bit nervous during editing was the software I was using. Like I said in one of my first posts concerning the Cambridge project, I'm using OpenShot due to how basic it was to a newbie such as myself. The problem that had me concerned was that it might be too simple and I should probably look for another application. Instead, I held back my fears and went ahead with it.
At first, I was wondering what I was going to do with the background music that I wanted to add into my opening. My teacher had told the class how we couldn't use copyrighted music in our opening without permission from the original creator, so I looked around the Internet searching for free music anyone could use. It took a while, but eventually I found FreePD.com, which had a ton of useful files of different music I could incorporate into my opening.
Because of my genre (horror), I looked for music that interrupted the environment or caused the audience to jump in their seats. Whenever I think about this, I always look back to the screeching violins that were used in Psycho when the woman was murdered in the shower. In my opinion, it's a great example of what to look for.
Again, even though I was editing for a long time, there is still some left to do. I'm still in the beginning to middle stages of the editing process, but I'm confident I can get it done by the next two blog posts. Either way, the final two blog posts are coming up, so I need to finish this quickly so that I can work on my creative critical reflection.
