Editing Blog: First Scenes

Today was the first day we began to edit. The first step was to get all the footage onto one device. So we emailed all of the footage from different devices to one email. We then imported all of this footage. The footage was put onto Kelsey's computer. We then had to select what editing software we would be using. We were between iMovie and Pinnacle Studios. We decided on iMovie as Kelsey's computer is a Mac. This has its advantages such as allowing us to be able to edit outside of school hours. If we used Pinnacle Studios we could only edit during school hours on school computers. So the final decision was to use the editing software iMovie. We began by selecting which clips would be used. We took multiple shots of each scene so we had to select which ones were the best. After reviewing the footage put together we realized some re shoots may be needed. We added transitions between scenes. After reviewing the edited footage some of the transitions were clunky. We changed the transitions and made them more smooth. After the editing process we added the titles. These titles showed the name of the movie and which group member had each role in the project. The next step in editing is adding more scenes and making sure the final product isn't clunky or confusing for the viewer.
