Figuring out how to edit

 


Today, 10/11/2021, we began editing the commercial. I was the one my group decided would be the editor for this project. Therefore, my group sent over the final clips that were going to be used in the commercial. I began by putting together all of the clips into one big video. At first, all of the combined clips ended up lasting longer than 30 seconds. In order to fix this, I sped up some of the clips so that they would take up less time. After fixing a couple clips, the time was cut to 30 seconds. Then, I decided to clean some things up throughout the video. For example, some of the transitions were very choppy and needed to be fixed. I was able to change the transitions on iMovie. By switching the transitions, I made the clips flow into each other nicer. This gave an overall smoother feel to the whole video and made it look more professional and organized. Sadly, there's been another bump in the road in trying to finalize the commercial. At this point, the video is done being edited except for the music part. Neither I nor my group can decide on what song should be playing in the background of the commercial. Two of my group members want to play the song "Tequilla". However, my other group member and I aren't too fond of this choice. Personally, I feel like that song doesn't fit into the commercial that well. I  think there are better options out there that can be used instead. Luckily, we still have one more day of editing so I have time to figure out with the rest of my group which song choice is the best.

Plans Gone Wrong

My group and I were supposed to start filming at minimum one day this weekend. My team and I had planned to get started on our film and finish at least a couple of the first clips. If not, it would at least provide a feel for how filming is going to go. Unfortunately, this was not able to be successfully done. It soon came up that my peers and I had previous commitments that weekend, which were not able to be postponed. For example, my mom told me when I got home that we would be visiting my friend out of state that weekend. I would be gone from that Friday night to the next Sunday morning. This left me no time to film since it would be too complicated to film on a school night. This is because I live so far away from everyone else in my group. By the time I got home from filming, I wouldn't be able to have enough time to sleep before I woke up at 6 the next morning. Therefore, I had to let my team know I couldn't make it that weekend. However, I assumed they would still be abl...

Storyboard for Time for Dinner

Scene 1: The first five seconds will show clouds going down with "...Presents" and "...Production Company."  Scene 2: The next scene is a tracking shot of a very vibrant neighborhood with the actors' names.  Scene 3: The camera gets closer to a house and shows the film's name. Scene 4: The camera goes into the house slowly. Scene 5: The camera continues throughout the house that looks very put together. Scene 6: The kitchen is a little messy-looking and says "The Music by..." Scene 7: Two girls are shown talking muted as the "Directed by.." is displayed. They are stiff.   Scene 8: Sara grabs a chair and sits as she says her first line stiffly. Scene 9: This is a close-up shot of Lynn and she says her first line very smiley. She has a lot of makeup on.  Scene 10: The camera turns to Sara as she says her next line wearing a lot of makeup. Scene 11: The camera watches closely as Sara gets out of her chair stiffly and asks Lynn if she wants ...

The Editing has Officially Begun

We finally finished filming all of the clips necessary for our film. The last couple of things we had to do included getting Nicole to record a couple more missing scenes at home with her tripod. After this was done, we were finally completely done with filming for this project. We were able to start on the editing immediately. One of the first things I did was record myself screaming. This was so I could add it in as a voice-over over one of the scenes. Before I could do this though, I had to make sure of some things. I made sure that I did it around the middle of the day when most people were awake. This is because I live in an apartment complex, so I didn't want to upset my neighbors. I also didn't want to upset my own family by yelling too early or late in the day. I also told my family to not be alarmed by my scream because I had to record it for a project and I told them to stay quiet during it so their voices wouldn't be heard in the background. I actually ended up...
