Editing Blog

Hello, Welcome. I hope you're having a good day.

  As of right now, It is Tuesday, December 3rd, I say this because I've just started editing, so I'm going to put more stuff here Thursday because there will be more to talk about. Also, Happy December, I guess. Anyway, today marks the first day of editing. We got into class, the teacher told us what we're doing. I actually didn't know we were doing an editing blog, but here we are. Yay knowledge. So far, it's going well. Nothing has crashed, nothing is going badly, Wow surprising. As I sat here and went through the footage and imported it onto Pinnacle studios, I realized something. That something was this probably won't need as much cutting as the commercial did. You see, the commercial was filmed and editing entirely by myself. The music video however, I filmed it with other people. So there isn't much of the awkward me reaching around the camera. Now that I think about it, the only problem that occurred as of now, was I couldn't get the SD card out of the reader. You may or may not recall the fact that I had never done that before, because the teacher dumped the footage onto her computer because of other technical issues. So naturally, I googled it. Cue the panic, because most of the google things that showed up were that you needed sewing pins and stuff. But I ended up pulling the SD card out, no damage done. I imported the footage and put it in the proper places. After that, I played it to get an Idea of what it will look like. Honestly, It made me smile. It was like a "Oh look, I made this and I had fun doing this." but I haven't fully made it yet, make sense?

  Something I've noticed after looking it over more, is that my mother looks like a teenager? I mean, you can see that she's not because of the numerous tattoos and piercings. That'll be a funny question to answer, 'Who's that?" "My mother".  Another thing I've realized is, we're really weird. Like, At one point I thought it would be an amazing idea to film them doing a very 'white person' dance. I mean, It's funny, but I don't think anyone would really be expecting that. Yeah, fun.

  I'm only making another paragraph this early because it's a different day. Right now, It's Thursday, December 5th. I did research for the past two days on how to download music for the video, but I didn't really find anything. As of this second, I'm going to wait until my teacher is finished speaking to students about their grades so I can ask her. Its been maybe 10 minutes and I did it, I found it out by myself. Okay, so the change of plans was I didn't ask the teacher. Instead, I looked it up. First, I looked on Google to see the options I had. I searched the song on youtube and tried to do it there first. That didn't work. Then, I had the wonderful Idea to look up "the thrash particle modern baseball mp3 download" or something on those lines. That worked!! The first option was a website called Bandcamp. The song was there, and it was free to download. I had done it. But now, the hard time. I had downloaded it, and now I had to import it. But the problem was I couldn't find the file when I went to the import page. But I pulled through and did it. Putting it into the actual video wasn't as hard as I thought. That's all I really had left to do besides cut a little more footage. Also, I forgot to mention in the thing in the other paragraph, The computer I'm on almost died Tuesday. I don't know why, It just went from like 45% to 7% but by then everything was saved and such. I mean, Right now the computer is low charge (21%) and I have no clue why, but here we are. I have to make a couple finishing touches before I have to go charge the computer. Cool.

Anyway, That's it I hope you have a terrific rest of your week.
