Hey! So we’ve started to edit the footage for our final project. Even though we still have more filming to do, just so we know where we stand and what else we need to film. As I previously mentioned, I used “cinematic mode” on my iPhone to shoot our videos. While it looks so good, very high quality, this has proven to be an issue. It is extremely hard to export such footage, as it is so high in storage. I tried texting it to myself, emailing it, airdropping it. No technique I could think of seemed to work. I eventually asked my dad for help, and he came up with an idea. I felt kind of silly, it had been staring me right in the face: how to get footage from my phone onto my computer? Simply plug my phone into my computer! Of course! That proved to be extremely effective. I was able to make a folder filled with all of our footage up to this point. Then, I imported each clip into the iMovie app on my computer. This is the third project for this class where I am using iMovie. Each tim...
After filming, we all headed back to my house. This has become our habitual editing location. We all file into my bedroom, Isaac sits on a stool beside me, at my desk, and Amelie and Lilly lay on my bed on their stomachs. We all face my desktop computer screen, which becomes the most important thing for the next 45 minutes. I had previously uploaded the videos from our first day of filming to my computer, so all I now had to worry about was the transfer of day #2’s videos. There weren’t as many as the first time, so I was easily able to airdrop from my phone to my computer. I dragged in all of the videos in the correct order of where titles must go. I added everything in and we were at about 3 minutes of footage. That was when we collectively started to panic. We realized that after cutting everything down to the right length, there would be no way for us to reach 2 minutes. We kept going back and forth on what to prioritize. The integrity of the production and storyl...
Today, I went found so much media for my commercial. I used the "people" feature on my camera roll app to find gems among the thousands of random pictures on my phone. This feature saved so much time I would have spent, searching through every photo I've ever taken. Instead, I just searched for my name and hundreds of pictures of me, all the way from birth to just last weekend, appeared. I sifted through practically every picture that has ever been taken of me to find all the perfect shots. I then added them to a folder in my phone for further review. It's clear that I have a lot of options for my potential media! Then, learned learned how to download my chosen song as a useable mp3 file. This will be very helpful during the production and editing process, as I now have a "hard" copy of the song. So, I can bring it into any chosen editing software, or trim it to a certain length. However, I doubt I'll do much trimming. I have so many potential pictures...
