First Editing Blog

This is the first editing blog that we had to do. It took a long time to do. We had to finish filming late and start editing really quickly. It took me a long time to finish editing because I had to trim it down to  2 minutes.  I found that especially hard because the film would of made no sense. But I tried my hardest to do it in order to finish this blog. When first doing editing, I had to put all the clips in the editing software. To do so I had to look through 107 clips and distinguish the real clips from the bloopers. It was hard and it took a long time to figure this out. Once I did, I had to import all the clips into the editing software. Now some of the takes were good but there was this period in the clips where I was telling them to “go.” Also there was a period after the clips where I kept recording. I had to edit 47 different videos individually. After that I had to put it in the timeline and beginning the editing process which took a long time.  After I put all the clips in and made it It in chronological order it was about 4 minutes long. This was 4 minutes long without the title sequence which sucked. So now I had to think about what I could cut out in order to keep the story and allow it to still make sense. That was a hard process. Once I did that, it was time to add the effects and music which was probably the easiest and most fun thing to do. Lastly, the title sequence was excruciating. The titles weren’t really working but I figured it out.
