Editing music video

Editing the music video didn't take that much time. While filming we had complications with the camera. We forgot to charge it the night before. So when we opened it up it said it had only 8 minutes of battery. Our first thought was to borrow our friends because she had a camera too that she hadn't used.We were planning on just going switch the SD cards. Our friend only lived about 2 minutes away so it sounded like a good idea. Hers ended up being dead also so we ended up using danis phone. Editing on the phone was easy. We kept all the footage on one persons phone.
We also made sure to take lots of shots so when we edited we would have options. The app we used to edit was Imovie. This app is very simple and easy to work with. First, I put all the clips together. After that I moved around the clips to see which ones looked better next to each other. We edited each clip to the exact timing we wanted. After, we cut the background noise of each video. Once we had all the clips organized we added the song behind it.We added filters. We also changed the positions of some clips.
 We made sure to watch it several times before we have to turn it in. The due date for this music video is Friday December 3rd. This means we still have 2 days to edit if we need to. Im hoping we get a good grade on this because we put a lot of effort into this. Im glad we were able to finish editing about a week earlier then the due date. We also had to add transitions throughout the clips. There was some last minute thoughts that went through my head right before we went to film. I thought it would have been a good and unique idea to use the song thrift shop and film at a thrift store. That would have made a good, fun music video. This idea fell threw though so we continued with the idea of going to the beach. In the end we made a great music video.

Filming continued

November 27 was the day we filmed. In my opinion it went very well. We got a lot of work done in a short amount of time.  We ended up going to the beach for a couple hours and filming.  First we had my friend pick me and my group member Dani up. After that we went to Dunkin’ Donuts and got the donuts. After that we took shots of us in the car zooming in to the music. Following we took shots of us dancing in the car.  We faced a malfunction where we forgot to charge the camera so there was only 20 minutes of battery on it. This resulted in us filming on Danni’s phone.
We decided that maybe we could borrow another friends camera and put our SD card in it. But there’s ended up being dead too because they forgot to also charge it. This resulted in us just filming on the phone.  To edit we will just use iMovie because it will be easier for us. We took at least 26 clips. Each clip is about 3 to 5 seconds long.  I have not checked all the clips but I’m hoping when we put all of it together it will look good.  Will make sure to catch as many clips as we could because it will be easier to edit with.  Well we also did is have some of the girls lip sing to the song so that will be harder for us edit because we will need to find the exact words that match their lips moving.  We also had some of our friends including the video which really helped a lot.
 I’m glad we were able to get our filming to entering break. This is really helpful for us because we have the final music video due on Friday.  The weather ended up being perfect. It was sunny and a little cloudy but not too hot.  I had a fun time filming. It was nice to work with my teammates.  Everyone was enjoying it. I’m excited to see how the final video turn out. I will start editing soon.  I hope the our music video turns out as well as our commercial did.  We’ve worked pretty hard in it so I believe we deserve a good grade.  The final music video end up being around one minute and 15 seconds long
