Editing Blog

   After completing filming the clips at my house and at the beach, we began the editing process. We went through all of our footage and picked the decent clips. We then imported them into iMovie. One of my group members edited the last portion of the video, and the other did the middle portion. While she edited the last part of the video, my other group mate and I helped her out. We gave her suggestions on what transitions to use. If she didn't understand or know how to do something on iMovie, I helped her out by showing her. She added fun transitions to make our video look better. Using iMovie was much easier than using Pinnacle Studios, especially since I already knew how to use it. We all discussed and decided what clips to use in the final product throughout the editing process.
   Next, my other group mate edited the middle portion of our music video. My other group mate and I helped her out as well. She kind of already knew how to use iMovie. But, I still told her how to use the editing software if there was anything she was unsure how to do. Editing the middle portion of our music video was a quick process. It was quick because we basically already knew exactly what clips we were going to use. We ended up wanting to change the order of some of the clips. I showed her how to move around the clips. I also told her how to add certain transitions. Next, it was my turn to edit.
   During the editing process, I edited the first portion of our music video. We split the editing process up amongst the three of us so that we could each put in some work. We used iMovie to edit our music video. I’ve had experience with iMovie before, so the editing process was easy for me. I helped one of my group mates who was struggling a bit while she was editing. While doing this project, I learned more about the different types of camera shots and angles and how to use them. I also learned more about how to add different transitions to our video and make the editing process easier. In the future, I believe my group and I should plan out our videos slightly more so that we are more prepared. We weren’t unprepared this time, but we still had a few very small moments of confusion and disagreements while filming and editing. I will also improve my editing skills on future projects.
