Start of Editing!

Image
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...

Editing Process!

   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...

All About Me Commercial - Reflection

     This project allowed me to learn many new technologies and features. Although I have used iMovie in the past, I have never used it so “professionally” as I did for this project. I learned so many features of this software that expedited and alleviated my production process. Additionally, I learned the process of both downloading from and uploading to YouTube. I downloaded the song I used directly from YouTube. I also uploaded my commercial to YouTube. Previously, I had only ever used an iPad to upload YouTube videos. It was so much easier from my computer.      From this project, I have learned that it is important to stay on top of things, to avoid procrastination. Proper time management allows you to put your best foot forward. You should trust your gut instincts when it comes to the creative process. When putting a project together, it is normal to revise parts that you are not fully happy with. Once the brainstorming stage has concluded, it is impo...
