Editing our Music video

      Today in class we started editing our music video. We begun the process by looking over all of our shots. We started by choosing a few of the clips of me playing with the dog. We really liked a few of them and decided to use them. We looked at those first because we wanted to go in order with our story board. After we decided on the few shots of those we wanted to keep we moved on. Next we looked at the shots where I begin to neglect the dog. These scenes are important because they show the dog’s motives for running away. We looked over a few and we chose a few of me watching tv and one with the dog running away. I thought these turned out really well.
      We then moved on and chose the shots for the rest of the video. We looked at the scenes where I look for her and when she gets back. After we were done with narrowing down the takes to just a couple for each shot we put them onto the editing software. It was around this time that one of our class mates told us that we were using the computer with their video on it. We gave them the computer since we hadn’t started yet and got a new computer. We put all of the shots we had selected on the editing software. It took a while for the software to begin working. After about 15 minutes we could finally start. We put the shots in order on AV track 2 and started cutting down the clips. A lot of the clips had extra footage so we definitely needed to shorten them.
      It took a few minutes before we finished cutting down the clips. Once we were done we noticed that our video was too long. We needed to cut our some clips to shorten the video. We chose one of me neglecting her because we had already established that by then. We then started adding special effects. We added a few but not enough to make it too much. There were some zooms and we are considering adding a black and white filter on some shots at the beginning. We will decide on that later. We are almost done editing the video, we downloaded the song and added it on AV track 3. Kyle did a great job editing and we will finish soon.
