An Outsider's Perspective

     I'm basically done editing the project, there are just very small details that I need to fix so as I do this I am asking my friends for critiques. I have watched the video too many times so I am happy to hear an outsider's perspective. One of my friends mentioned to me that the audio of some parts was too quiet or not noticeable at all and he suggested I do foley, so I did. At first, I thought it was a tedious task and I honestly did not want to do it, but I am so glad I did because it enhanced my video so much, and it was actually kind of fun. I got sounds of footsteps, a light switch, the wardrobe opening, a door closing, and some other sounds in this process.

    Another common critique I got is that the acting of the parent at the end wasn't exaggerated enough, which was something I was already thinking when editing. I plan on re-filming this whenever I get the chance because it's an important part and the context is lost by that reaction, plus, it really isn't that hard to re-shoot since my mom is the actress in that part. 

    Overall, the critiques I've gotten have been so helpful in making my film opening better. Another person suggested that I add some sort of music or sound effect when Lluvia is sneaking into the parent's closet because it's kind of empty, and that was something that I will definitely include. I am so proud of how my opening is turning out so far and since I am close to the end of the project, I will be starting to write my CCR and hopefully film it very soon so stay in tune for these last couple of posts!
