Finally Beginning to Edit...Or Trying To

 


Today I began editing the music video. I got sent the separate clips by another group member. It took quite a while to get these clips, a whole day after I sent a message about it, but I ended up getting them nonetheless. Another one of my group members, Nicole, sent me a message today concerning the editing of the video. She recommended we both edit the video together. This would be harming the plan we had originally all had set where I would be the editor. However, her reasoning was understandable. She couldn't  physically make it when we were filming either. Since she barely assisted with the filming process, it is only fair she plays her part in the editing process. Therefore, now I will have to work with her in editing the music video rather than doing it all by myself. While I do find it a little better to be able to edit all by myself, I suppose Nicole's assistance will make the process easier. It may even make the outcome better, as two heads are better than one. After talking to her, we decided to split the work down the middle. She works on editing half of the video while I work on editing the other half. As soon as I started the editing process there was the slightest inconvenience. The videos that were sent to me by a fellow group member wouldn't send in order. Of course, I already had the storyboard so I knew which clips went in what order, but it wasn't saved like that in my camera roll. Instead, I had to delete and resave the videos in order, so they would go chronologically in my camera roll. I needed to do this so it made it easier for me to know which clip to pick from my camera roll to include in the video next. Once I did that, I was free to start editing all the clips together into one video, which I did.

Plans Gone Wrong

Image
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...
