Begin Editing

 My partner and I filmed for 2 class periods, but the second day was cut short because of a PSD. After I finished filming, I went home and uploaded the files to my computer. In an earlier blog, I stated that I didn't take that many shots, but there were about 150 files. I did not realize I took that many videos. It took quite a while to download all of those files, but luckily they were small, so it wouldn't take me too long to sift through. I put all of the clips on Adobe Premier. The editing process was very tedious. I was having to delete many of those 150 clips and merge them. My partner and I had previously went through audio clips to find the right song to overlay in the video. I found one and put it in the commercial. I also had to find the transitions that fit best with our vision and to make it look sporty and clean. So, the first night I edited, I put the best of the clips together and it was not that pretty. The transitions looked awful and eventually got it to look sleek. I spent a couple hours on it and eventually got tired of doing homework, so I wrapped up and kept it as is.

 Hi, my name is Keith and I chose this class because I have had many friends take it and I've heard great things about it. They were raving on how fun it is creating films and learning how to do different tricks in their filming. I also need a couple more Cambridge credits to get my diploma, so I thought I would try this out because of this class's great reviews. I expect to learn how to edit my videos to do all sorts of cool things such as cross cutting, shot/reverse shot, jump cuts, and many more interesting techniques. My goals are to be able to learn these techniques and create some really cool pieces of work. I want to keep these skills with me when I'm older because I think it is useful to know how to film. You never know where like can take you and who knows, I could end up becoming a film director. For this project, I chose to work with my buddy Jake. We've known each other since kindergarten. Ever since we met each other, we have just clicked. We would spend th...
