Editing blog

    Today in my AICE media class we started to edit our music video. First we filmed Tuesday the majority of our video. As said in my filming blog we went to Reese’s house. Then on Wednesday, we stayed after school for half an hour to finish filming. Since we had to use one of the clips from Tuesday we had to film the beginning after everything else. So, we filmed the beginning and end of the music video yesterday in our schools media center. The scene was supposed to take place in a class so that’s why we filmed in our media center. When we got to class today Reese came in a little late due to personal problems. She got to class at about 8:10 which was about 30 minutes after class started. Once she got to class we started right away since we now had less time. All the videos were on Reese’s phone because we didn’t like the camera quality of the class camera. As a result, we unanimously decided to use her phone. So we airdropped all the videos to Jame’s laptop. We had a little trouble figuring out how to import it but we eventually figured it out. Once we imported all the clips to iMovie we began.
    We first added all the clips into the first slot on the editing software. Reese then said that I would be better to add the song before started to edit so we could match up the words with our singing. James knee how to convert the audio to mp3 so we let him take care of that and then import it. We had to download the clean version of the song which didn’t include the instrumental beginning. Because of this we had to download the real song for the beginning part and then trim it. Once it was imported I lined up the song with our singing and trimmed the opening part of the song. We then stared to trim and edit the clips of the videos. Since I have worked with iMovie many times, I mostly editing the clips. We inserted different parts of each clip so that it would cut between each other. It made the video more interesting so that it wasn’t one background the whole time. We all put in our ideas while I enforced what they said. While they were saying their ideas I would carry it out on the computer since I knew how to do it.
    Due to it being our first day editing we did not have enough time to finish. We only got to trim and add in the music for the most part. We didn’t add any transitions yet. Since this is due Monday we will have to finish it outer the weekend. However we don’t know exactly when we are going to finish it. Because James can’t get together with us today or Friday and I can’t do it over the weekend. We are going to try to figure out how to share it so we can both edit it but we are not sure how to. If we are able to however, we will FaceTime so that we all agree on decisions made about the editing. If we can’t share it we might have to get together and do it in person. However due to the time limit James might have to do it on his laptop while FaceTiming us. We still have to figure out what we will do but those are our ideas of what might happen.
