Editing blog

     For class we recently started editing. Its been very gratifying. I've been able to see the outcome of time I spent filming. While filming I felt at ease knowing I would be able to fix it up when editing. However, just because I knew I could polish it up later doesn't mean I didn't try hard. In fact while doing I spent a lot of time trying to give my future self some leeway. I would so the same shot in different ways. This allowed me to have options in the editing process. Although this also have me some problems while editing. With so many shots to choose from it made editing a slow process.
     While editng I first reviewed all my footage. I then selected what I would use. I made sure everything rolled smoothly. Most of my time editing was spent cutting and fitting the footage. I did this in order to fit in the correct time duration. The 1 minute and 15 seconds your given is quite limiting. So while editng shots I would of like to be a little be longer were cut short. This also means I wasn't able to add as much footage as I'd like. At some points it also felt a little choppy. However, I'm still happy with the final product.
     I finished the video for the most part today. After adding the music it came together really well. Before that I was just listening to the raw footage. At some parts I also felt a little proud of myself. Editng overall was a fairly enjoyable process. I got better at the process and using the tools too. Although, I felt I was not able to edit to my fullest potential. This is because I'm still really unfamiliar with the software. My idea didn't translate the exact way I wanted it to, but its fine as is. The editing process was an insightful experience overall.
