Editing

       Today is editing and this is the first big stump within this commercial. There is currently a computer malfunction and we are unable to edit our film. The app pinnacle studios is not working. When we try to click the app it ask for a password, our teachers told us that unfortunately the computers wont work and we would have to continue next class. Initially we were gonna use the story board to place our footage in order. We had a script that we were gonna use to help outline the dialogue within the film. One of our group members added in color to the story board to set a guideline for where films being placed. Since we could not open the app nor upload our videos onto it so we ended up saving the film on google drive.At first I was stressed that we didn't get to edit today but then I realized we have even more time to understand what we really want this commercial to end up as.
      Even though we cant edit our film we were still able to discuss what we would do. As a group, we watched some of the film and it appeared to be good film. Watching some of the shots, there were a lot of mistakes. There were many times where somebody laughed or did something wrong or said something wrong. We want to use this extra film to make  bloopers. Another negative was an odd angle when filming, the film didn't turn out exact to what we wanted. Observing for the commercial, there was film that had long enough scenes that looked professional that we will be using in the real commercial. When we looked at the film it was to have a general view of how everything would align. One worry i have is the first clip which is a team member counting down the race, I am not sure it will go smoothly with the next clip yet we will make it work.
       We all had different roles when filming but during editing we will all be working on one computer so we are going to have a main person edit, Victoria. Throughout this process everyone will have the opportunity to go through the edited film and put their input. I will be able to watch which clips Victoria puts into the edited film and either approve or disapprove. In all honestly this sets back our commercial process since we will now have to finish editing and wrapping up quicker. On the other hand, we could have more time to work on editing or understanding the app if we can come in tomorrow in our free time and work on the film. Having the film on google drive is actually helpful for us. I feel as if google drive is a very secure place to store film or documents so even if pinnacle studios were to crash again, our film is still secured in a reliable app. Since we most likely wont use our free time to work on the commercial, we will have to finish editing next class. One perk about this is that my group discussed more about how we are handling sound and the script. We did decide to do a voiceover and try to incorporate sounds into the commercial.
