I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the narrative and performance footage, removing unnecessary or out of focus shots and adding cross-cutting to emphasize the narrative.
We used a Canon DSLR camera to film the footage. The camera had adjustable focus settings and higher resolution than school cameras, boosting video quality.
The camera tripod was useful for stationary shots during narrative scenes filmed on uneven terrain like cliffs and waterfalls. This allowed stable footage keeping narrative and performance shots in focus, emphasizing the folk genre through facial details and emotions.
