Final Editing Day

Today was the final day of editing for our group. We did run into a few bumps. Mostly with Parkers computer we were originally editing on. The program she was using started malfunctioning, so we had to act fast and edit on a different platform. We ended up deciding on iMovie, because we al have prior experience using it. It was easy to transfer the clips and piece them together in the correct order. We trimmed down the different clips to make sure our video was the desired length. And we also added the final slide, which is a picture usually shown at the end of Extra commercials, for a final touch on the project. After the editing was complete we had to add the song. After some consideration we finally settled on the song Love Lost by the Temper Traps. However instead of the original song, we used an instrumental version. This allowed us to keep the mood we wanted for the commercial. It also let us avoid distracting words. We wanted the commercial to have background music to affect the tone, but not singing so the viewer could focus. So after deciding and finding the instrumental video we decided to add the music to the video. We decided to use a voiceover to put the audio in place. We placed our phone speakers next to each other so the sound would carry well, and stayed silent while it recorded. After doing that we added the recording of the extra slogan at the end of the video. This played over the final slide. And after all of this process we saved it and were done.
