During production we used an iPhone 11 to film. The majority of ambient sound that can be heard in the opening was recorded with the phone's mic, other sounds such as dialogue and music, were either recorded or uploaded from YouTube's audio library. I had no idea that YouTube had this feature, after learning about it in class and playing around with the different sounds, it was really interesting to see how important a simple song can be to a film's overall tone. Trying to find a mysterious tune to play in the background of our opening has been tough, but I am hopeful that after more searching we will find the perfect one.
To edit the clip, my group decided to use iMovie. iMovie appealed to Josie and I because it was the technology we were most familiar with. The app was also already downloaded on Josie's laptop, and we found that keeping with apps affiliated with Apple made editing less complicated.
Personally, I did not know much about iMovie. I had some knowledge about the app from previous school projects, however I have never used it to edit a video. Thankfully Josie knew a lot about this technology, which cut down on the time we would have had to spend learning about iMovie instead of editing. There are not going to be any special or FX effects in our opening, Josie and I thought that we might need to include one earlier in the project: however, after filming we found that special effects would not be suitable with our film's aesthetic. Currently, we are still editing the rough cut of our film.
