Editing Blog for filming music video

We finished filming last Saturday. Being that we filmed on our phones it took us all of our last class to dump all raw footage to our computer. We started by sending all the footage to our emails . Then we downloaded all the footage to computer . After downloading all footage to the computers we put it on my USB drive . We put on the drive just in case the computers crash and we have to change our computers . After dumping the footage we then downloaded the Mp3 on our song . We used an Mp3 converter to convert the song from you tube to a mp3 file .  After all this we made a folder on the computer desktop. We named it CKSK which is all our initials as the name of the folder created .
After this we opened pinnacle studios.
We used my login so we'll have a constant editing process in pinnacle studios . We then imported all the footage into pinnacle studios . After importing the footage into pinnacle studio we dropped a couple video footage's into track 2 and started to put them into order. We didn't have much time to continue editing during this class period . However next class we will hopefully finish editing . The following class we begin by changing out a clip . We had previously filmed a clip with someone else because one of our group mates so we had to redo a clip. Now that the clip is changed we put in the rest of the clips . We just continue to cut and crop the clips as we place them in order . After we finish adding in all the clips , we then finish the transitions. Certain xlips we had transitions to emphazise some . However others are used just going to be simple jump cuts .
Today we finished editing. We put all the clips in the correct order and cut down all extra shots. During this we learned how to rotate footage . While also learning the disadvantages and advantages of filming on our phone . If we filmed on our phones vertically then the shot would flip on pinnacle studios so we had to rotate a few films . After that we added the song and added the transitions to create a flow within the video . We all looked over the video and critiqued it , which lead to our final touches being made . We added the title last then exported the video . We saved a copy of the video on the computer and my USB to secure the file .

finally filmed for sky walker by miguel music video

My Group members and I believed our filming process would go great because how well we had everything planned out . However it became hectic as issues occurred . One of our biggest issues was our camera not being charged enough . I forgot the camera wasn't previous charged and decided to put it on the charger 2 hours before filming . This only gave us 6 minutes of battery life in the camera. All of the camera battery then died on the way to picking up another group member . So we was stuck with trying to figure out how to film without a camera . Then i thought of the idea of using our phones . This made all our shots hand held shots with a few uses of the tripod .The idea of our blog was creating a video blog of a fun day with friends . Basically the idea of being a you-tuber , this came hand and hand with the use of video taping on our phone .

Another issue was the timing . Our original timing was to meet at galleria mall by 2:00 and be done by 5 . However a member of our group had work and the others weren't able to make it. so we changed the time to 2:45 , everyone was there except for one group member. This delayed our first shot. It delayed it so much that we tried to put in my little brother for the shot which ended up messing the shot up being that it had a different person from all the other shots . we started filming inside the mall we filmed our first shot and last shot in the mall before any other shots to use our time wisely .Then we began to become crunch on time because my job asked me to come in by 5. Mind you we didn't really start filming until 3-3:30. However we finished all our mall shots by 4:00 , This gave us 20-30 minutes to film at the beach . The beach is only 5 minutes from galleria. we ended up at the beach by 4:10 because it took us an additional 5 minutes to find parking . It took about 20 minutes to film at the beach . We began to have fun and we didn't wanna go so we ended up leaving the beach at 4:45 . This only gave me 15 minutes to get to work which i had to go home and then make it work . 

Other then our small issues our filming process went great . We followed the storyboard and we did all we had in the storyboard . we even added a few extra shots to make our music video fit its length. Im very happy my group members and i was prepared for filming and had minor issues that was easy to solve . Thankfully our storyboard was completely accurate this time . The accurate storyboard made our filming process much easier .Now we will have enough time to edit everything .
