Editing Blog: First Cuts

     We started to edit our footage in class on Wednesday. We looked through all of the footage and discarded any that wasn't useful. We had a lot of videos because we were interrupted during filming a few times.  I edited on my computer using iMovie because I personally think it's easier to use than Pinnacle Studios. I also bring my computer to school most days and it's just convenient for me and for other students. We put the clips in the order the movie goes by. My partner and I both looked through the clips and decided on what wasn't necessary for the movie. I started to cut and delete parts of some scenes. For example, the first scene when our actor wakes up was too long for one scene. To fix that, I cut out a good portion of the part where it's facing just the ceiling. There were some scenes that we needed but were too long. We decided to speed those clips up just a little so it doesn't look odd. We also wouldn't need to refilm that scene which saves us time. During editing, we realized most of the clips didn't come out how we expected. We need to refilm the scenes in the bedroom to the way we want it. We're going to refilm it when we film the kitchen scene.
