After we filmed on Friday, today in class we edited it our footage. It took a little while to get started because I was being slow, not realizing that I had to get an SD card reader. An SD card reader is what you plug into the computer to access footage on the camera. After I got the SD card reader, I logged into the computer and created a folder. To make sure the footage was not lost, I saved all the footage onto my google drive. I also saved it to my group members drive's. After I had done that, I went back to the folder to review the shots. We had 13 shots in total from our filming. I can admit before I started editing, I got off track laughing at our footages. It got a little challenging as I started to edit though.
In our first shot, it shows us walking up, laughing, and pointing around. I had to try to cut out the ending part to shorten the time. However, I kept cutting out the part that mattered. In the end, I ended up being able to cut the part that needed to be cut and I moved on. I had to delete footage as part of this editing. The shot I deleted was a blooper from one of our scenes. It was funny but we did not need it. For the next shot, I used a split shot, in which there were four boxes. This represents flashbacks of Kelly (the person I'm portraying) thinking about her relationship. It was confusing to get that to work, but I got it.
Moving on, there was another shot that got difficult to cut. In this shot, the guy portraying my boyfriend had to be aggressive with me. He laughed at the ending which is what I had to cut out. Laughing does not show the character of the shot. I cut the wrong parts of the video a few times, but I eventually got it. Throughout the shots, I also added the music. The song is Girl by Destiny Child. It was a little challenging since I had to cut the noise in the background. I managed to get through it all though. Unlike the last project, my group members and I did not use Pinnacle Studios. Another app was used to edit the footage. Our last time filming will be this Saturday.
