Today we began editing some of our commercial. Again we have experienced technical issues with the computers. The laptops available were also low on battery. Thus we only got the opportunity to edit for at least half of class. Difficulty with the computers seems to be a reoccurring issue for us. It had already occurred in previous classes. The program we started editing on was called pinnacle studios. We started off by picking from the footage we had taken when filming. We had a good amount to go through as we had a lot of footage. We kept the best shots and cut the average or not so good ones.
Then we started placing the shots together. We decided to go about this by the way order in which we filmed. My segment of the commercial was first. We put different shots of my shoes in the commercial to really enhance and engage the audience visually. Our commercial was supposed to be around 30 seconds. We are not done merging our footage together so the final product may be slightly longer or shorter than 30 seconds. We also were trying out different transitions. In between every scene we used transitions such as dissolve to distinguish between them. The transitions will help the audience to focus on one article of clothes at a time. It will help our commercial to function smoothly.
Our commercial is a more visually focused one. We are showing off our attire and as a result it lacks in dialogue. We will replace the lack of dialogue with sound. We used some of our time today to look for some free to use sounds on the internet. It is important to find the right sound that fits the commercial and that holds the attention of your audience. We have selected options from many websites and plan on choosing one the next time we edit. We were going for a clean and smooth sound as apposed to something overly fun and energetic. The sound shouldn’t distract from the point of the video. With not a lot of time we plan on adding our sound next class as well as finalizing the commercial together. If we continue to have technical problems we plan on switching platforms to iMovie.
