Editing Short Film

         Since i filmed thought the thanksgiving break i thought i would get a head start on my editing during this first week of  December to just get it all done and over with so i don't have to worry about anything after this week. Since we have midterms from the 14th to the 18th its going to be a stressful week. I really want to finish everything by the next week, so i don't have to worry about doing any work over winter break while i have family over and then Christmas and new years gatherings. I began editing on November 29th and i finished on December 1st. On November 29th i gathered all the footage i got from filming in the week before and i watched everything over again just to make sure i had everything right and that it looked the same as the storyboard, which they were and i was so happy. Lucio and i re-watched everything together after we filmed on the same day and we laughed about some of the videos we shot because they were so bad that it was funny, i will be adding some of them to our website for bloopers and behind the scenes.

When i first started editing i had some issues with the footage downloading. I had to spend like four or five hours just deleting stuff off of my phone because i had around 16 thousand pictures and videos on my phone. After that it would still take like 15 min for everything to get downloaded into iMovie. I used Imovie to get everything down and just see how many minutes and in total i had almost 10 minutes of just footage. So after i had all the footage down i started cutting everything don and editing out the parts in each clip that either took too long to get to the point or it just wasn't working with the whole film. Then i started adding the transition which took a while because i couldn't choose which ones looked better and i also couldn't decide how long i wanted them to be but at the end i kept them at either 0.5 or 1 second long each...
