editing problems

 Today is our first day of editing. It didn't start off so great. From our past projects onara always been the editor. Along with me always being the actor. This time i told onara to let me handle the editing. I told her to let me handle it because i needed to pick up my part. This project is a group project and i have been slacking. I feel like a bad teammate and group-mate to onara. I needed to help out more and this was my way of doing it. There were a lot of things I needed to edit. Like putting the scenes together while all of them being in order. Also needing to find a song to put in the video. Also figuring out how to put the song in the video. Lastly, trying to edit all the words in and the background noises we need. We needed to put a background noise of knocking during 2 of our scenes. The scene were i peak through the window and the scene where i get up to go get the door. I downloaded about 5 different editing apps to help me. I also asked all of my friends what apps they use. Once they told me i signed up asap and started my editing. The only thing is it didn't turn out so well. The video looked horrible. The transitions were bad, the music was choppy, i was so angry at myself.

My perspective of the editing

 As we know from last project and this one, onara is the editor and camera woman while i’m the actor and idea person. With our final task coming up we have both realized that i’m going to need to learn editing. This is because the video will be longer than anyone we’ve ever done, which will make it trickier for onara to edit. Longer clips to edit, longer clips to film, transition etc. So i decided that i would be with onara while she edits this time. This is so in the future i know how to help her and i can learn by watching her. What we did is for the first part of editing which was cutting the scenes. Basically just cutting the scenes to be shorter so we didn’t take as much time in the video. This was easily done on the iPhone just by clicking edit on the camera app. Then she started putting the clips together. She put the clips together with an app called cap cut. I downloaded it myself so i can work on editing videos together in my camera roll. After that she added the sound to...

  I chose onara to work with for many reasons. The first reason is i see her almost everyday afterschool for volleyball. So i would be able to shoot with her after volleyball or before outside of school. Secondly, Our parents are friends. They trust that we will be both safe in either of there hands. If i had a partner whos family i didn't know, my parents wouldn't be to comfortable leaving me in their care. Another reason why i chose her is because she's good at finding the needed and correct research. If we need to find something ASAP she is able to quickly find it. She also is a good value to the project because she knows how to shoot. What i mean is she knows how to recognize angles and shoot them clearly. What i can bring to the table is resources. We have already thought about our commercial and what we were thinking i can provide the resources we need for it. Such as the props needed and the transport needed to go where we need for shooting. I also am an idea creator...
