Editing Blog

 Hello ! Last class as you know from my last blog my group and I filmed our commercial for Mcdoanlds. We have all of our footage completed and dumped in our folder on our school computer desktop. Our teacher has given us the opportunity to film some more today if needed but thankfully our group doesn’t need to. It was time for us to edit our commercial. We walked into class and got together at our computer and used Jake’s account to log in since his was the one we used when we transferred our footage. We logged in and our content was there but then there was a problem we came across. Pinnacle studios wasn’t popping up on our computer. We looked on the desktop it wasn’t there and we searched it up on the computer search bar and it wasn’t there. So we called over our teacher and explained to her what happened. She responded with that we can either just do our blog on editing without actually starting and talk about our experience or try it on another computer.
 We decided on the second option. We went on another computer to check for Pinnacle Studios but unfortunately it wasn’t on there either. Then we found another computer and logged in and hoped Pinnacle Studios was on it so that we could finally start editing. The computer did have it so I went back to our old computer to put our footage on a flash drive and transfer it to the new computer. After we inserted the flash drive we went to click on our folder but a message popped up saying it was unavailable. I called over my teacher again and showed her. She looked at it and said none of the computers in the room had a working Pinnacle Studios. My group and I were disappointed that we couldn’t start editing today but we knew there wasn’t much that we could do. So then we safely ejected the flash drive to ensure our footage is safe. Then my group an I walked back to our desk and opened up google blogger.
 Today my group still took this time to communicate our ideas about editing. We discussed each part of our commercial and talked about different editing elements we could incorporate. Each of us had some pretty good ideas. Such as what text and inserts we could use. We all think that once our commercial is edited it’s going to look very cool and professional. I’m excited to start editing next class or whenever it will be available. Filming was so much fun to do and I think editing will also be a lot of fun for this project and especially in future projects like our music video we are going to do. We have already revived a detailed lesson on how to operate Pinnacle Studios and we already have a clear idea of what we want to do so our editing day should run smoothly. The editing process should be interesting to see our all of our ideas come together. I’m so excited for the finished product.
