3rd december editing.

In this lesson me and Shannon continued editing while the rest of the group blogged. We continued and finished cutting the shots to the beat. We then made decisions on how we wanted the video to look. We took out and added shot s to make the video visually interesting and added another base track. this took extremely long as the clips kept needing be rendered as they where showing in different quality overtime. this may have been the computer we were using at the time as it showed up differently on every computer we used. We hd to decide what went where and for how long. put all the markers in time of the beat. dan told us to add dynamic to the video when the drums got faster which was a helpful tip but tricky as it meant the clips had to be cut in a different way to the rest of the video and also finding clips that fit the lyrics and instrumental at that time in the some was hard. This was all while the video had to keep being rendered which took a big amount of our time away. 

We wanted to continue editing through the afternoon so i went back to the editing room before lunch was over but when I got there all the computers where full so Shannon and I had to go into the normal classroom which was unfortunate as the computers in there are a lot slower which meant overtime i moved the line of shots we had to wait for all the other shots to loads as well which was annoying. I the afternoon we continued deleting and adding shots. We then came to a part of the some when the tempo slows down and the tune is carried by a trumpet. We wanted to edit to the beat of the trumpet to add pace to our editing but this was hard as the beat was completely different to the original. We then discovered that you could change the colour of the marker but only once it had already been put in which was tedious as we had to listen for the trumpet tune then mark it then go back and change the colour of the markers in order to cut it correctly so that we could then edit to that tune instead of the original beat. We had just started to cut the first few trumpet beats when we ran out of time. at this point we saved it to return to the next morning.
