Editing blog

    Today in my AICE media studies class we edited our footage from Thursday. It was a struggle to edit because the school’s computers weren’t working so we weren’t able to get much done. In the beginning of class we went out to finish filming for the commercial. We only filmed different parts of the school because we didn’t think that all of our footage combined would be in the time limit that we needed. Today we filmed clips at the track to show our multi purpose field for soccer, track, and football. We also filmed the sign at our baseball field to show our Flying L spirit. Reese filmed Amanda and I cheering on our players at the bleachers by the track. Then I filmed Reese and Amanda cheering on our L’s by the baseball field.
    During the editing process pinnacle studios was giving us trouble. We couldn’t open it for a while and then when it finally opened, it was being really slow inserting our footage onto the software. Once we the clips finally transferred Reese and I tried to start to edit. Reese knows more about the software and computer so she did most of the transferring and dumping. Although at first it took us a little bit to figure out how to transfer because we have never done it before. After a few minutes Reese found a way to transfer all the footage in the easiest way. Once we had got the footage into pinnacle studios we couldn’t edit it because it was being super slow and wouldn’t let us do some things we needed. We found out that no ones computers were working.
    We had to upload some of our footage to google drive too, because it wouldn’t transfer the footage from today. Because of the issues at school we will have to edit next class. This could throw off our schedule because it will take us a while to edit and we only have 2 classes now instead of three to edit our footage. Today all we did in class was dump our footage and try to edit. We also had a limited amount of time because other classmates had to use our computer. We had only half of the class to use our computer because the other group was asking to use it. All of these problems made my group and I really angry for many reasons, like we were frustrated with the computer, we now won’t have enough time to edit because we missed out on a class of editing, and because we didn’t have enough time to do everything we wanted for our editing process because the other group had to use our computer. Today overall was a very stressful and unsuccessful day.
