Editing Blog

We ran into a few problems from the start when trying to edit. We tried to open up pinnacle studios and were met with a screen saying that it wouldn't respond. I reloaded the computer a few times only to find out that it just wouldn't work. I then put that computer away to get another one and try again. I repeated the same process over again with the new one. Yet again I was met with the screen letting me know it wouldn't work. I tried one more time with a third computer but none of them would work. It was then we realized we would have to do most of the editing at home. So, I uploaded the footage to the google drive and logged off. I volunteered to do some of the editing on my own at home since we needed some edited for our peer review.
To edit we decided to use imovie since it had a lot of the same functions and was easy to access and use. One good thing was importing the footage took little to no time since we had uploaded it onto the google drive already. Then, I sorted through the footage and found all of the usable clips. From there I organized them and put them in. Then I shortened the clips to the correct length so they moved cleanly from one scene to another. Another thing I did was add background music to build suspense in the scenes. I had to go online and find royalty free music that was downloadable and get it from there. I found one that really worked and added it on to the video. This really enhanced the feeling we were trying to go for in the video and actually made it a lot better thematically. Overall, we were able to get a lot done for our first time editing, and most of what we have left is just adding the titles.
