Editing is finally here, and I’m both excited and a little nervous. After filming, it’s time to put everything together and make sure the film opening flows the way I imagined. The first thing I did was go over all the footage and organize the clips in order. I watched each shot carefully to see which ones worked best. Some shots looked better than I expected, while others didn’t fit as well as I thought they would. Since the opening is fast-paced, I need to make sure each shot connects smoothly and keeps up the energy.
Once I had everything in order, I started adjusting the length of the clips. Some shots were a little too long, and I don’t want any part to slow things down. I had to trim them to keep the pacing right. The rhythm of the editing is important because it needs to match Triana’s movements and her intensity while dancing. I also need to make sure the inserts like the close-ups of the flamenco shoes and the red skirt, appear at the right moments. These little details help set the mood, so I’m paying extra attention to them.
I’m also experimenting with the order of some shots. Even though I planned things out before filming, sometimes the clips work better in a different sequence. Moving things around helps me see what flows best. I want the film opening to feel natural but also intense, so I’m playing around with different combinations.
So far, the biggest challenge is making everything feel seamless. Since the film opening doesn’t have music, the sound of the dance needs to be just right. I’m adjusting how the beats of the cane and footsteps sound together, making sure they add to the tension of the scene. It’s a lot of trial and error, but I’m excited to see how it turns out.
Here is an image what my editing currently looks like:
