Editing blog: Putting everything together

    In this blog, I am going to tell you how I started editing my final AICE Media Studies project. Since the end of the year is creeping up on us the stakes of passing this class are getting higher. Yesterday the 26th, we started editing our final project: Seized. Since we got everything filmed last week we were completely set to edit our film. However, we had to finish editing sooner than we expected. At first, we thought we had about two-three more weeks to complete our project, but we actually have about a week left to. The reason why we have such little time to complete our project is because of an assignment that we have due next week; the Peer review. The Peer Review is other groups grading and giving feedback on another group's project. To be able to review and get reviewed we need to turn something in. Without turning something in for someone to peer review, we could have our grade drop greatly. With that being said, we needed to get a lot done with editing yesterday.
     When we started editing we had to do a lot. I had to pick all the scenes with Paige to put in the film and Zeke and Roscoe had to arrange them in order. This was time-consuming because we had over 50 different shots in total and we had to skim through each one to see what was right. In the middle of this, we had a problem, at first, we thought we had too little shots because the filming process was very short. However, in the end, we had too many shots. We had about 3 minutes, which was over time we should've had. We ended up cutting a lot of scenes to get in our time frame. After that Paige and I helped Roscoe and Zeke arrange the scenes and we finally finished editing. Although we finished everything, we didn't think that our project currently matches our potential, so this upcoming weekend we plan to reshoot some shots to finish this film perfectly.
