Editing Music Video Blog

I started to edit my commercial. It is going pretty good. I have to finish this weekend though. I have all of the footage I need, now I just need to edit it. Like I have said in previous blogs. Editing should not be too hard because I have some prior experience. I got the first few scenes done today. But I know how I want my music video to go so it should not take much longer. Editing was also smoother with getting started. I hope it is like that the rest of the time.

There was some trouble starting. This is because the laptops were not working. They would not load the editing program. But when they did load there were only 30 minutes left of class. I was only able to complete a little bit because of this. I do not think that it will that easy to finish. But I will get it done. Then I have to insert the music. I had trouble with that when I was doing the commercial. But I was able to get it to work then.

I am pretty sure that we got enough footage. But it needs to be at least one minute and five seconds. I don't think that I undershot that mark though. But that is a decent amount of footage to edit. I don't know how long it will take. But hopefully, everything goes according to plan. That would make me very happy. But the editing process or what I have done has been good. As well as filming. It has all been a good experience.

Music Video Filming Blog #2

I haven't had time to finish filming since the first time. My group members and I haven't been able to find a time where we are all free. But we are planning to finish this week. It shouldn't take to long to finish. That is when we have the chance to finish. We have everything already planned out. Now it's just putting it all together. The filming process should not be a problem. But we still have to edit. That shouldn't be that hard since I have some experience already.

Editing will probably take a little longer this time. This is because there will be more footage. But there will be more footage because the music video needs to be at least one minute and five seconds. The footage is on one of my group member's phone. Now we need to put the footage onto a flash drive. Well, that is the plan at least. Then when I am at school, to put the footage onto the laptop. I didn't use one of the cameras provided because I forgot an SD card. That is the main reason I used a phone to film. Well, it's the only reason.

But the project should not take to much longer to finish. I know I have said that a bunch. The editing shouldn't take to long either. This is because I have a little bit of experience. But even though I do not have all the footage. I am going to start editing what I do have. This should definitely help. Especially when we have the rest of the footage. It will make editing then take a lot less time. Then after I edit, I just need to insert the music.
