Editing blog

     Hey I'm back! In my previous blog I talked about the filming process I went through for my music video. Now that i have all the footage edited, I can talk about the process of that. So, before class on Tuesday morning, I went to class to dump my footage onto the computer. I made a folder on the desktop and on my google drive just in case anything were to happen. The dumping process went very smoothly unlike last time because I somewhat knew what I was doing this time. We also had actual laptops that worked to do it on now. I finished dumping and then I had to go to class and I'd continue editing the following day. The following day was the day we were actually able to start editing. This process also went pretty smooth.
      When i got to class, i got the same computer I imported on to make sure all of my footage was there. Now that i scene that the footage was all there, this is when i technically started to edit. I then opened up pinnacle studios and started to import onto there. My group and I then looked through all of the footage that we shot and chose the ones that we though came out the best. Once we chose them, we dragged them into Av track 2 which is for the footage. Like I said, our music video is more like a montage. A montage is basically a series of photos or videos put together. Since we chose to do a montage, our transitions were not that choppy since we would go from one scene to another. Editing our music video was also fun because some of the scenes we shot were somewhat funny.
      After getting everything put together, I added the song to see how it all looked together. Once we heard the song with it, we decided to change a few things up. I didn't like how some of the scenes looked because it just didn't match up. We finally got something we were all happy with. We all watched it over a few times to make sure we liked it and weren't missing anything. We agreed to the final product and then sent it in! We were all pretty proud of ourselves because not only did we finish filming in a reasonable amount of time, editing was a breeze too. I think this was another good learning experience. I'm glad we are finished with our music video. See you guys in the next blog!!
