In today's lesson, we were editing a short film that we had recorded on the theme of "Albatross".
Our plot basically involves a successful young woman who has a stalker being followed, and eventually running away, to an end that the audience does not find out. Albatrosses have connotations of bad luck, as well as good luck, and they are often considered omens. The idea here is that the stalker is the young woman's omen, following her around, and not allowing her to ever properly live as she otherwise would.
Today, we were editing this piece, connecting the shots together and cutting them down, as well as putting music and titles in over the top, to create a short film. I've found this process very interesting, as well as fun and productive, and it has allowed me to gain experience for future projects.
