exploring the editing software

 Before we started our editing process. I wanted to make sure I was comfortable with the software we were going to use. I did this by exploring the website at first. We are using Imovie to edit our whole film. This is a free software for us because we have availability to Apple devices. With thi I went through all the options for sound effects. I also looked at the available transition options.  Another thing I did was recorded a random video and went through the process of putting clips together. I also worked on adding music and adjusting it to the level that you are able to hear the dialogue in the film. I also looked at how the lighting effects worked. We will need these because we will need to darken our films to make it look like it is night time. I also made sure that there was no watermark that was showing. Since this would affect our grade it was important that there wasn't going to be. I have used this site in the past. However, I wanted to go more in to detail in the website. I did this to get used to it again. As well as find anything new or things I have never noticed before. This would allow us to use everything beneficial in our editing process. Making sure our film reaches the needed standards and requirements. I am excited to see how our editing will turn out when we finish our project.

Today, I browsed our options for available music. We looked at sounds available to use without credits. Doing this we found some we liked. However, we still chose to research the things needed to get credits for a specific song or sound. To get these credits, you need to email the company with the rights to the specific thing you want and ask them for permission to use it. You have to be very specific on what you want the rights for. They may take a while to answer so we emailed them as soon as we knew what song we wanted to use. Until we have received an email allowing us to access the rights. We have come up with a back up plan. I browsed the available sound effects on Imovie to find one that would fit with our movie. It has a retro sci-fi beat. Making it the perfect addition to our movie if we cannot get the proper credits needed. Finding the sounds on Imovie was a simple process as all of them were titled and separated into different categories. The sound titles were very specific.

Sit Back and Watch!

  This is my second major project i've done this year. Looking back on the project now I realize there are many things I could have improved on. However, I believe I have improved from my last video to this one. There are many things I will be able to achieve in my next video that I wasn't able to in this video. With some hard work and practice I will be able to make an even better video next time. In conclusion, this project was very helpful in discovering my ability factor to film, edit, and create a video. My ability will continue to advance with time and practice. I am interested and excited to see my progress from this video to the next. This video may not be the best one i've done all year but I am still very proud of it. Overall, this video was a very rewarding experience for me and I am very thankful to be given the opportunity to participate in a class that teaches these skills.
