editing blog

           The last part of our music video was to edit and put it together. I watched most of the scenes and cut out what needed to be done. I like the video that has come out of it. I wanted to try to use pinnacle studios again but i just cant get the hang of it. Honestly its much easier to transfer from the drive to the laptop but the program itself just isn't working for us. So instead e did it the longer way to use imovie. What we did to make this happen took a while but in the end it made it the best way for us to put our film together. First i used the cord to connect the camera to my computer at home. Then i saved everything to my computer and made a file for the film shots. Then i opened google and transferred it over to the google drive to make it easier to access from my phone. Then downloaded the clips onto my phone from the google drive. I know it was easier to just get the file and email it to my phone but sadly when i did that it wasn't working. For some reason when i opened it on my phone it wouldn't load. Then i thought about it and figured maybe it wasn't loading completely because it wasn't in the proper program. so i held everything down and pressed save so it would all go to my camera roll. But it wasn't going to my camera roll either so i had to completely abandon that idea and figure out a better but sadly longer way to get it there.since we could edit this in class together we decided we would share to to each other so everyone could add and do their fair share. So my share was getting it all on to the program and looking through which clips we were actually gonna use in the project. Their wasn't much that i didn't use just some of the shots of the beach. Lily edited through to the middle and aniyah went and finished the rest.Then i went back and looked through to see if anything could be better. But The girls and I did that together so it was more of constructive criticism. We didn't make many changes to the video after it was edited. It was mostly just cutting tiny bits off the ends to make everything come together better. I watched it so much because i wanted it to really smoothly transition from shot to shot. We got a pan in and dancing shots in. There some zoom ins to it too. we even got some shot of the seagulls flying so we could add sound over it. This process went a lot better than before with the commercial. I liked the fact that it came together better and didn't have so many complications like the commercial. I wanted so bad to get used to pinnacle studios because its so much easier to get the film onto the actual program but i just don't like the way its set. I grew up using Imovie so using it now and editing with it comes easier to me. That's it for blogging on editing bye.
