It’s the time to start editing! Now that all of our clips have been finished we uploaded them to my computer to put them together in iMovie. Both of us were a little unsure of how to use it so we watched a tutorial to help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vbzDXk4vKk . This helped us learn the basic iMovie skills we needed to make the clips flow well and use effects that would help better our film opening.
After this we decided that we had to much footage and had to choose the best cuts from each scene. We even had to cut out scenes that we originally wanted in there due the timing being over two minutes, which is odd because we were so worried we were going to be under time! With all of our best scenes picked out we started to put them into iMovie one at a time. The hardest part was figuring out what transition to use in order for it to look natural. We ended up using a decent amount fade to white and honestly for some we didn't need transitions at all! We tried almost every transition for each scene and then we voted; we weighed out the pros and cons to each before choosing. Also some of our scenes had to much extra footage on them so we had to cut a decent amount of then, which gave us some trouble for a bit, but we just looked back at the tutorial and figured it all out.
Ellie and I worked for about an hour trying to finish as much as we can, but good quality takes time. We knew that we were going to need to spend a good few more hours working on this project to finish. Next class we are planning to finish putting all of the scenes together with transitions and this weekend to finalize everything with the newscast, folleys, voice-overs, and music.
