Editing my Jansport Commercial

 Today was my first day of editing. I am better at acting so I played the main role in the commercial. Sophia, my partner, has great filming and editing skills so she played the main part today. We used an app called iMovie to edit our commercial. Since all of the filming was done on my phone I decided it made the most sense to edit on my phone too. Sophia did most of the hands on editing while I made suggestions. First, some of the clips needed adjusting, so while Sophia made sure they were the right length, I cropped them to make each scene perfect. All of the clips were also looking a little dull so I decided to add some brightness and a filter to it so it would look happier and brighter. Sophia and I had a difference in opinion on what filter we should use. I thought the super bright one looked better while she liked the one that was a little darker. We settled on one that was in between and it turned out to be the perfect brightness giving a happy effect. Then it was time to put all the clips into iMovie. Once I did that, I realized that we only had 28 seconds but we needed at least 30. I gave the idea that putting one or two of the clips into slower motion would add great effect and give us the extra seconds needed. Two of the clips were put in slow motion which looked good and got the commercial to 31.3 seconds. Next it was time to work on transitions, I decided using the basic dissolve transition for all of the clips. This transition aloud all the clips to smoothly glide together to look wonderful. Though we had a few challenges to overcome, Sophia and I worked together to get through it and edit together. Today was successful, we got most of our editing done and had enough time at the end of class to start blogging. Next class I plan to choose background music and do finishing touches on our commercial.

 Scene 1: The actor will start off coming into school beginning at the top of the stairs in front of the auditorium. A Jansport backpack will be laying on a bench right before the stairs. The actor will be running, grab the backpack off the bench and run down the stairs. This will go from an eye level to a low angle, the camera person will move backwards as the actor runs down the stairs. Then the actor will start walking and other friends with Jansport backpacks will gather around and walk with them. Scene 2: Another actor will be sitting on a bench on the senior patio. Papers and books will be on the ground and on the bench, the actor will be trying to zip up their non Jansport backpack. They will be having trouble and it won't work. This will be an eye level shot from the side. Scene 3: As the group of friends with Jansport backpacks are walking they notice the student with the non Jansport that is broken, there books and papers are falling out and they look sad. They all look a...

 So that was the end of the filming. All that's left to do now is edit. I began by trimming our clips to the appropriate length. I listened to the individual who had an opinion. The brightness was adjusted. I tweaked the angles. It took me some time to figure out how to utilize iMovie. As a result, I experimented with several editing programs. I ended up preferring iMovie and went back to my first choice. It was difficult for me to choose music. I also didn't want to utilize music that was protected by copyright. I spent two hours attempting to come up with some suspenseful background music. My group was examining our video as I was editing. I had a feeling my group wouldn't be able to finish editing today. My group viewed a number of editing videos. So far, my favorite aspect of this endeavor has been becoming closer with my group. I was a little nervous at first since they were all juniors and I was a sophomore, but they were quite nice to me. I'm pleased I became clo...
