Editing Blog

    

            I started editing after I finished filming all my scenes. I first exported all my videos onto my computer. Then, I went through all my videos and chose the best takes to put into the commercial. After I chose all the videos, I put them all together. Once they were all one video, I went over it to make sure it all went together nicely. Once I looked over it, I started to think about how I wanted to edit it. I decided to first make sure I would be able to cut it down enough. I then wanted to record my voiceover so I could edit that with the video. Once I finished my voiceover, I then edited the voiceover into the video. After the voiceover was in the video, I added the music over the whole commercial. Then I decided to play the whole video with the music and voiceover in it. Once I watched the whole thing, I decided to add some transitions throughout the video. I added smooth transitions, so it looked as much like one clip as possible. After the transitions were added I started to look over the other clips more carefully. I then needed to make the video 10 seconds shorter, so I cut down little pieces of each scene. The scene where we try to pull the two pieces of wood apart was the longest, so I took about 5 second off it. Then I went back to the beginning where we were gluing, and I took 2 seconds off the scene. After I took 7 seconds off the whole commercial, I still had 3 extra seconds, so I cut it off from the scene where I am in the pool. I then added some lighting effects, so it made the whole commercial seem brighter. Once I was done editing, I watched the whole thing one more time and made sure it was 30 seconds long.
