Editing the Commercial

Today me and my team members were able to re-film a couple of the scenes. The scene we had to re-film were the low Angle shot and the scene of me walking while tired and me sleeping while awake with coffee. Once we finished re- filming the scenes we transferred the footage from the SD card to Jeannie computer since the school computers broke down. Today we were supposed to start editing but because the computer doesn't have internet and broke down all we could do today is wrote our editing blog. Our teacher also assigned us to transfer our footage from the SD card onto our Google Drive or onto a flashdrive. However, none of us had a flashdrive so all of our footage went onto Jeannie Google Drive. During our re-filming process  we had to do it extremely quickly since we had a blog due at the end of class. The re-filming process was quick and we were able to get all the footage we needed. Jeannie and Asia were able to direct together while I was finishing up acting in the scenes we still needed. Editing the footage will be complex since we all discussed that we wanted to do a voiceover and have a split screen in the commercial.

    Jeannie and I went through all of the footage and decided which shots were the best and which one's we can delete or save as bloopers. We were able to get clear, perfect shots that we wanted in the commercial. Today my group members and I both made an outline of how we will make the commercial look like and how it should be set-up. The computers located in our classroom always have had problems such as no internet and loading slowly. Most of our computers also don't work making everyone share computers since there is not enough for everyone anymore. Our idea of the Dunkin Donut commercial is to create a commercial that is unique and different than most of there commercials. We decided to do a commercial about a student (which is portrayed by me) and how she acts different with coffee and donuts than she does without coffee and donuts. We hope that our commercial can portray everything that we will edit next class. Our Dunkin Donuts commercial is going to be an example of how teens in highschool always need or have Dunkin Donuts.

    If we were able to edit today in class I believe we would have started out with recording our voiceover. Once we finished recording our voiceover we would have to find a way to transfer it to the computer and add it into Pinnacle Studios.  But before we transfer our voiceover we have to transfer all of our footage into Pinnacle Studios. Once we have all of our footage and voiceover in Pinnacle Studios we will start off by changing the color of one of the scenes to be dark grey to portray tiredness. Then we will have to add the split screen in our commercial. The split screen is the most important element of our commercial since we have been discussing about the split screen since the beginning of the project. We would also edit in transitions and cuts. Asia one of my team members is the editor of the group but all of us will contribute to help edit our commercial. Jeannie is one with the idea and concept of the commercial so she would be in charge of finalizing the final commercial. Hopefully the computers will be fixed by next class and we could actually start editing.
