Editing blog

    Finally the day has come to start actually editing our commercial. We have two days to edit our final commercial. The first day of editing was on Tuesday, 11/5/19. This day didn't go as we planed. instead of getting the full class to do our work, we had complications with the technology that we were using. First of all we forgot to transfer the downloaded shots that we took for our commercial onto our google accounts. This was a very important step to do but we forgot to do it. This created complications for us because we needed to get into the computers that was said to not work. We tried and failed for what seemed like hours but finally for some reason that's unknown the computer turned on and started working! Before all of this happened we attempted to put all of our shots onto a flash drive. Unfortunately this certain flash drive did not work. This is why we were in this certain predicament.
    Once we were into the computer I took out another flash drive that I knew worked because I always use it for anything that I do. After we fixed the problem we had to get the footage in the app that is used for our editing.  This app was known to be a little slow but after what we just went through all we wanted to do is get this commercial completed. Im not sure if it was just our computer but it was acting kinda slow but, nevertheless we got onto the app and chose which shots were going into our final cut. Once we had them we laid them all out and watched all of the cuts together. We were really impressed at what we had. We were contemplating on what sound we should put in our commercial. At first we were trying to put the McDonalds jingle in the background as our music. there was just one problem we have never tried to make a sound into an MP3. We tried to turn the music into an MP3 but all of the sites that we tried to use did not work. Then, the bell rang and we had to leave.
     Which takes us to today Thursday, 11/7/19. Today my group and I knew that we had to get our butts in gear so we could turn in our commercial on time. Today we only had 45 minutes to work on our commercials. This is because it was a PSD day. Once we entered the class room my group scattered. We knew what we needed to do, I was on computer job. I got the computer and put in the flash drive to start working on our commercial. We decided to instead of putting in the McDonalds music in the background. We wanted to add a school bell sound effect to make the scene more realistic. Once again we came across the same problem with trying to turn the sound into an MP3. This time we got some help from a fellow student. He showed out a site that actually worked. We added our sound to the first part of our commercial and finished editing. And by the end of the period we were done with our project and turned it in.
