Editing Music Video Blog

   My group has started editing. We started my dumping/ importing the footage onto the laptop. We opened up the footage on iMovie. We are using our own computer and editing software. We used the same software for the last project so we decided to use it again. Once we imported the foorage we dragged the clips into the correct "bar" or area. Once all the clips we were goign to use were in the right area we decided and put the videos in order of how we wanted them to appear in the music video. We couldn't agree on the order right away which made it difficult. But eventually we made it work. We then cut the clips so that the music video would be long enough and fit the time frame.
   After we cut the clips we started to add slowmotion to certain clips. We though it looked better and made the timing fit better with the song we picked. We then decided to add transitions. It was difficult because of the limited transitions available. We only liked a few of the transitions which limited us even more. We added a few transitions between some of the clips that flow the best. We didn't add transitions to all clips yet but we will add the rest next class. We dont have a lot left to edit. We have a plan so that we will finsih and turn it in on time. All we need to do is finishing editing and turn it in.
   We need to add the last transitions. We don't want to turn it in with many jumpcuts. We want it to look as good as possible. In the editing process I added most of the transitions and fixed the speed of the clips. I tried to make everything look smooth and flow. Until next class I'm thinking about what transitions would look good. I will suggest to my group to add a filter to make it look more like the feeling we want to achieve. Next class we will buy/ download the song. We need to make sure the footage and audio match up and woek well together. We just need to make sure everything looks and sounds right then we can turn it on.
