Our First Editing Adventure

 Today we began by gathering all the clips we had filmed and reviewed them. Today Riana was not here to assist us in editing so it was difficult to make certain decisions without her. To fix this issue we communicated with each other throughout the class period. As Riana is the main editor we depend on working on her Apple computer for the IMovie application. Since we did not have this available to us today we directed our attention to other activities we needed to work on. I first began by deleting any scenes that came out dark from the sun's reflection onto it and other scenes that we did not need. We noted that there was too much film to fit the thirty second requirement so we deducted more scenes. As we were looking over these scenes we noticed that some segments needed to be re-filmed. Jahniya and I then went back to the track to film from three other angles. There were many accidental shots and failed takes. Then I used the music platform Spotify to get an idea of which song to utilize in the commercial. Some ideas we had were "Dark Red" by Steve Lacy, "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, and "Diamonds" by Rihanna. Although these songs differentiate by there beats and meaning, they could all be applied to the commercial because of its diversity. Apple is a brand that is used globally and no matter the song the appliances implemented will be brought out because of the background story. As a group we were more fixed on using "Don't Run Away" by Tyler James Williams. Seeing that Riana was absent no clips were put together today, but we stayed productive. We were able to have a set number of scenes to work with for our next editing day together. I am ready to concur the next editing adventure and learn all about the IMovie platform. I have worked with this program and have minor experience. As a team I know we will be able to produce a wonderful commercial.
