Final Editing Blog

Today my group members and I got a lot done. We filmed and edited today. We finished all filming today and continued the editing the process. We plan finishing the commercial this weekend. All we have left is some editing we have to do. Since it is on my laptop my group members and I came up with a plan for editing outside of school in class today. We made a group-chat and have/will discussed what editing needs to be done. I will do it at home on my laptop and send it to them to make sure they like it. We plan to have this done by Sunday. So these next few days will be full of editing and perfecting.
Today we quickly filmed our last two scenes we needed to get done. We filmed the third and the fifth scene. The third scene starts off with a close up of NIKE flysteppers and then zooms out to show action going along with the shoes specific purpose. It includes a close up, long shot, and zoom. The fifth scene just shows every person with a NIKE pair of shoes on all walking up to the same place. Today we had some issues occur. One our classmate with the Air Forces was not wearing them and we needed the for the scene. This issue was soon resolved though, when we found somebody who was wearing the same shoes we needed for the scene. Also we had a sub today and were not able to use a tri-pod. So we had to work really hard as a team to keep the camera steady.

Once we finished filming we headed back to class and got to editing. We started off by dumping the footage we had just filmed on to the laptop. Once we dumped the footage onto the laptop we moved it to iMovie and dragged the footage into "my media". We then had all the raw footage there. We went through and selected the best footage and placed it into the section to be edited. Then we muted all of the footage because we will be doing voice overs for each scene. After that we cut down the footage to the length we wanted it to be. Now that we had all the clips in there we measured it out so would add up to 30 second. We then started to test out transitions, but stuck with the original transition with no added effect. We then took the rest of the class to decide what we want done so that I know what to edit at home.
