I was trying to make a sad, more tones down, edit for the longest time and honestly, I think it turned out good!
I love love love watching sad edits and I thought I could make one too, but in that thinking I neglected to take into consideration that one of the driving factors in good sad edits is pacing, slow pacing to be percise. I, myself, am terrible at slow pacing. I need everything to come at you like bam bam bam, one thing, next thing, blink and you'll miss it, type of situation lol. Because my attention span is short af.
And I think that that type of editing is really good for fast, beat heavy, intense songs, but just not for sad ones.
Also I worked to include a lot a lot of quotes / voice-lines in this one, which I have never really done much before and it was at the same time really fun and really overwhelming. I had picked out way too many quotes that I could use for the Louis/Lestat part and too little for the Claudia/Lestat part, because Claudia is not so talkative lmao.
Also Audio editing is foreign territory, very scary, very alien, no idea what I am doing, just kinda trying my best to get the voices clear and the background music, if there is any, gone to the best of my abilities.
I really like the colour correction I did here, because it is not just: oh it's sad so it's gotta be blue, which is what I instictively do, but more like subdued green marine ish tones, and a red pop, if you know what I mean...
The song was brought to me by a good friend of mine about a year ago or so, and I thought it suited my ideas for an edit perfectly, because Lestat, in my opinion, did really lose everything / everyone he loved (though he may not have loved Claudia that much in reality, I still like to imagine it as such for the drama haha).
Anyway, hope you enjoyed, hope it made you a little sad lol
