Editing Blog

     Today in class, we starting the editing process. The class had to take shifts on the computer because there weren’t enough computers for the whole class. My group got a computer to work on. We first dumped our footage from the SD card to the computer. Kyndell had the SD card and we asked for the SD card reader. We moved our footage to the folder we created. We went onto Pinnacle Studios and imported our footage. There was a video on Pinnacle Studios and we didn’t know how to remove it, so we asked our teacher to remove it. After that we started by moving our footage to Track 2. We waited for it to load and then we played all of our footage to see what we wanted to cut.
     We forgot how to cut the footage but then we figured it out and started to make cuts. I helped cut the second scene of our commercial. This was the easiest scene to edit. I helped to make the transition where Bianca turned around at the end. We had to cut it perfectly, so that it had the effect of Bianca turning around from two different views. I also had to cut out the parts where u could hear us say “cut” and “action”. Bianca accidentally clicked on something and two arrows came up at the sides we didn’t know what it was. We asked our teachers and they told us to just move it to the sides. We continued editing the second scene and moved onto the first scene. This scene was harder to edit because we had a lot of clips.
     The next day in class Bianca wasn’t at school, so it was just me and Kyndell. All we had to do was finish editing the first scene, add the title and add music. Kyndell got us a computer and we started to edit. Everything was put together all we had to do was cut out the parts where you could hear Bianca. When we finished that we moved on to making the transition between the scenes. After we finished I did the title. We chose a transition between the title and the first scene. Once we finished that we looked for the music. We didn’t know how to add the music, so we had to leave it without the music. We finished right before the bell rang.
