Attempt to edit

      For the last few days of class Roscoe and I have been trying to edit. At first, our issue was making all of the videos horizontal. This was not possible so we decided to make them all vertical because we filmed every shot vertical once. This also did not work because some of them were turned sideways when we uploaded them. We could fix this problem but it would cut off some of the shots. This made each shot vertical but some had different dimensions then others. We continued trying different ways to make all of the shots the same size but nothing has worked. We have decided to use iMovie instead of Pinnacle Studios but that means we will have to start over. We thought we would have to wait to start editing till I got home and to my computer with iMovie but I found the app. We began editing in school and all went well.

      The iMovie app worked very well. I uploaded the footage and put the scenes in order. Then, I added the music. After, I cut the shots so that they went well with the music. I also had to mute the ambient sound from the shots. The last thing I did was put transitions. I used the dissolve for every transition because it looked the best. Our time ended up being 1 minute and 21 seconds. It was supposed to be between 1 minute 5 seconds and 1 minute 15 seconds. I might cut it when I finish editing but only if it does not mess up the sound timing. 

      I still have a few things to do in the editing process. At the end of our video the camera faces the sky. I am hoping to add text that says ‘the end’ in that part. This will add a unique, creative aspect to our music video. I also might cut some of the footage to make the video flow better. Altogether, the editing process with iMovie went very well. Despite the issues with Pinnacle Studios our music video turned out well. The video follows are storyboard with minimal changes. The video has many different shots and angles. All of the parts came together to make the video look great.
