Editing blog

     For the first day of editing I started with downloading iMovie. I never used iMovie before so I needed to look on YouTube how to use it. After I watched a few videos I kind understood it, but not perfectly. Just to be safe I downloaded another editing app, to see which one I liked better. I've never made a video that needed to be edited like this, so it was all a learning process for me. iMovie was actually easy for me to use once you get the hang of it. I chose to delete the other app because you needed to pay for it. To start with the editing, I chose to add all the clips together. Today I wanted to focus on making sure there was nothing I needed to cut out or add. After adding all the clips together, I had to cut some clips out, and make sure shorter. I did this until I hit 30 seconds. I thought it would suck cutting out clips but it actually made it look better and more organized. Once I got my clips together, I needed to add title slides. These took a second to make and add it to the short film. But once I got It in order it ended up looking really good. After the first one I did the second which was very easy to make. Once all that was done I worked on transitions from clip to clip. I didn't think this was important, but it turns out it makes a difference. Adding the transitions made it look clean. Then I watched it to see what needed to be added and fixed.

Adding effects!

       To start off with editing I re-watched all my clips. Since I had a lot of re filmed scenes. I deleted the bloopers and the clips and the ones I didn't need. After this I used iMovie again. I used this last time and I really enjoyed using it. I put some scenes in first and cut out of whatever I didn't need. I then had to line up the music with the shots. This took some time to do because some of the scenes were longer than the music part was. The music video also has to be 1:15 seconds. So knowing this I put all the clips I wanted and saw how long it was all together. All together it was 1 minute and 35 seconds. So I had to cut out some things to make it shorter. I did this until the time was right and wasn't over or under. I also wanted to add different effects and slow motions shots. So I went to the scenes and added that over whatever scenes it would look good. When doing this I realized I wanted to move some shots around. So some new scenes don't match with...
