Scripts done :))

 Faster than expected...

Hey, the last time I updated you, I told you it would take until Friday to finish the script/line edit, and that didn't happen. I was really motivated this weekend and really focused on getting it all done. So my line edit is completely done.  

Side track but maybe it's just because today's my 18th birthday so I was freshly motivated to do as much as I could before today because I expected to be a tad bit busy. It's really crazy to believe I'm 18 and that I'm an adult. It really puts things into perspective for me and just made me realize how much life I've lived versus how much life I have left to live (which makes editing this piece all that much sadder) 

For example, Nicolas Dworet never made it to his 18th birthday and I'm so grateful to be safe and meet this incredible age. 

Ok back to the doc, if you would like to check out my complete outline, you can check it out at this link. 

And now that that's done I can get to my editing process :)) 

So my line edit will be done by the end of the day since I basically just have to look up the time stamps on Premiere Pro and insert them into my sequence. Once my line edit is done I'm going to get into editing and hopefully
be somewhere good by the end of the week. I feel really good about the line edit, to be honest with you. I've been looking through my broll as well and I am a bit nervous I'm not going to have enough but I'm going to trust the process and see what I have. Worst comes to worst I can always go out and film more but it's not ideal of course. 

Overall, my documentary has a total run time of 9 minutes and 45 seconds but obviously, for the purpose of my portfolio project, I will be submitting the final 5-minute excerpt of the documentary. I'm going to be honest and say this documentary has just become so much of a passion project for me and I was really excited to create something that could be shared with others and I decided to edit the entire package.  

But that being said!! Hopefully, by tomorrow I can show you a finalized or at least a part of my line edit complete. 

On Wednesday we have team meetings so the prayer is I can show them a finalized line edit and get their input on what is good and what needs to be fixed about it. I think I'm going to struggle with spacing and just giving the documentary breathing time so I hope that once the line is complete I can get some of those opinions.

But anyway that's all the updates I have for you today 

Until next time -
