Editing Commercial

11/7 For our editing process we had some complications importing it to the pinnacle studios because there was a a zipper on our folder. Everything we needed to import needs a yellow check mark on it. Soon enough we figured it out and started to edit everything. We learned how to crop each clip to our liking. Once we put everything everything together we transferred it to the track and combined all of it together. It ended up being thirty seconds long so we have to crop more to put in transitions. We looked back at our notes to figure out how to add transitions. We helped eachother and decided on some transitions we are gonna use. So far it’s been two days of us editing our commercial. We were a bit confused on the transitions although we were finally able to find the perfect transitions for our commercial. 

     Then we cropped our clips to fit the required 30 seconds. Our teachers weren’t here today so we still have a few questions on the editing portion. Our group decided on finding a song to fit perfect with our commercial. We ended up with two good songs for it. Finally we took a vote and decided on one good one. We will learn how to transfer the 30 second piece of a song into our video. For our first video I think we are actually progressing well. We now know way more terms for films and videography after taking this class. We will continue to learn throughout the year. I personally like editing because you can do whatever you want. I am good at cropping so I do most of that for the editing. 

     My group members and I are impressed with the results so far. We found a good fade in transition to put in between each clip. We are trying to edit the commercial professionally so it looks good enough to be a real Nike commercial. I believe we will really like the outcome. We put a lot of work in this,  I can't wait for us to finish editing so we can enjoy the commercial. Since today was a half day we only finished the cropping and transitions. Next class we are planning to add music and text. We will continue to work hard to get the best grade we possibly can. So far this has been intriguing to make. My group and I have many more ideas in store for next class.
