Editing Blog

Today in class we started the editing process. Jontae, Edgardo and I had to do it without Fulvio because he is out of town. Instead of using pinnacle studios to edit we are using imovie. We are doing this because we had trouble using pinnacle 
studios and this way we dont have to use the slow computers. Both Jontae and Edgardo have imovie which is a big help. Jontae is using his moms Mac book and Edgardo is using his iPad. We believe this will be a lot easier and work smoother if we use apple products. Edgardo's iPad gives us the opportunity to use touchscreen, which will be very helpful. We all have a little more experience with imovie rather than pinnacle studios so it shouldnt take as long.

We dumped all of our footage on to imovie on Edgardo's iPad. It was very smooth and did not take long. We were very relieved it didn't take long like last time when we used pinnacle studios. Once the footage was uploaded, we picked the best clips from each scene and put it together. We watched over it once and were very impressed. We then inserted the song God's Plan. This was the only thing we struggled on, we had a difficult time figuring out how to add the song. Once we finally got it we watched the video once again with the music playing, it was great. Once the music and film was on the computer in order it was a cake walk. Alls that was left to do was add transitions and then we were done.

We were all very productive during the editing process, especially when adding transitions. Edgardo was very good at thinking of the transition that would fit best. Jontae and I placed them in the appropriate spot. It was a team effort, we were very successful. We used many transitions like jump cuts, dissolve, fade in, and fade out. After we added the transitions we were done. We watched the whole video as the final product and it turned out better then we expected. I sent it to Fulvio to insure he approved and he did. We were all very relieved to be done and were proud of what we created. We learned a lot throughout the creation of this video and we are getting better and better at filming and editing. I'm excited to be able to rest this weekend without the worry of filming or editing.
