Today is Thursday, November 7th, 2019. Alexis and I started our editing process on Tuesday, the 5th. we were trying to figure out how we wanted our commercial to turn out. Also i figured out what the name of the software was, which is called VEGAS Pro. We put the the SD card and transferred our footage inside the software. The first thing we did was cut out a bunch of time within the film. The total time of the footage was about 1 minute and 10 seconds, give or take. The needed time for the commercial is between 25-30 seconds. Not more nor any less. So we had to figure out a way to edit it all the way down to the needed time.
The first part we wanted to do was make all the footage look good together. By doing this, we had to cut the footage into pieces. At first, we didn't know how to cut the footage and we figured it out pretty fast. To do this, you had to right click on the area the selected film was and press slit. Then, since it was already selected, you only had to press delete and the selected area is gone. We had to did this to many parts of our footage. This includes parts where we have to turn off the camera. Also, it includes areas where the footage bleeds in within the other footage. Another thing, this is the first time I ever edited a video. Secondly, the other part that we wanted to do was a time lapse.
Neither one of us knew how to do a time lapse, and Alexis is good at editing. Therefore, we had to look up how to do so on YouTube. It was quite simple, but at the end we decided to take out the time lapse because it was time consuming. It took about a whole 8 seconds of our total time. At this point we were around 39 seconds. On the today, which Alexis and I basically just went over the film a little bit and took out another unnecessary chuck that took about 6 seconds. Therefore, we are around 32 seconds. Its the last blue day this week and we were cut short on a half day, in which class ended at 8:26, compared with regular time being 10:50. Unfortunately, Alexis has the footage on his computer and him and i can only help each other over phones. There is no school Monday and our commercial i due before midnight Monday, therefore this weekend is going to be our finishing touches
