Editing: once again

      This week the computers were fixed. My amazing groupmate savanna had the idea to use iMovie to help us edit our footage. I thought this was very smart because we are all familiar with iMovie. Savanna is especially familiar with iMovie so exiting was a tad easier than pinnacle studios. I’ve been very sick so this week I could be in person to help my group mates, rather they would text in a group chat that we made keeping me informed. They asked questions like how does this scene look ? Or what should I add and what should I take away. This was very helpful because I still felt like I was helping my group in someway. Overall I’m very happy that Haylie and savanna did an amazing job keeping me informed and giving me little jobs to do. So I have some pretty great group mates.
          When we decided we were going to use iMovie we decided what needed to be in our commercial and what shouldn’t be in our commercial. We cut some extra parts out as well. We decided what transitions we would use. We also tried and experimented with tracking shots and even more transitions from scene to scene. One of the difficult parts in editing our commercial was we wanted to use sound. We thought that the vans commercial had to have sound it could not be without sound. We tried many many songs but some of them didn’t fit the mood.  Haylie and Savanna decided on the perfect song for our commercial. They also decided what part in particular the song should play throughout the commercial. We ended up choosing an indie type of song. Which was a type of genre we wanted from the start.
          We also had to make sure our commercial seem to have a sense of direction. As if the commercial was leading up to something. We zoomed in on the vans because that is what The commercial is all about. The storyline is meant to be that both girls are wearing vans. the one skateboarding sees the girls sitting on the bleachers and notices that they’re wearing the same shoes. All the parts editing around that we had to make sure we’re not choppy. It was hard enough to work with that small amount of footage we already had. We had to use all her footage because there was no time to re-shoot. Overall we were happy with our footage but some parts we could’ve done better at. Transitions are the best and when we edit the screen to follow the skateboard it’s one of the best tooAll the parts editing around that we had to make sure were not choppy.
