What's Editing?

So our plan that we originally had ended up working up. We were able to film the scenes on Wednesday at the mall as well as the apartment. However, we had to make two big changes to the process. The first big change that was made was taking me out of the actual acting of the scenes. We decided that it would be harder to fit me into the music video this far into the project. It mostly had to do with my schedule and how I might be able to film on some days but not others. That meant that if I was in a scene but not able to be back for the next scene, the editing process would be harder. Since the music video is directed around Victoria and Jefferey it wasn't difficult to take me out of the acting process. So what ended up happening on Wednesday was that I was the director of the video as well as actually filming them. It was just easier for me to do that and it moved the project along faster to the point where we were able to finish filming that day. Another change that was made was that instead of using the park to play basketball, we changed it to playing ping pong in the apartment. We did this because by the time our schedule opened up to film it was too dark and for safety reasons we did not want to go film in the cold and in the dark.
Even though we finished the filming on Wednesday we did not finish the editing process today. We got into class to edit and the first thing we had to figure out was how to get the mp3 playing of our song onto the software. That took a while because some of the music that played either wasn't the way we wanted it, or it couldn't be used because it was considered Copywrite. After finding the song the editing process became easier. Our next plan was for Victoria to finish editing in our class period, and because I had study hall the next period, I would come back and edit the rest of the music video. When I asked my teacher if I could stay for the next period, she told that it couldn't happen because her next class needed the computers. Then she came back and stated that we could stay in her 6th-period class however the kids in her class have dibs on the computer so if the computer we were using was taken, we would have to wait until the person was done to use it. I wanted to take the chance so I stayed for the next class, but some group ended up using the computers. Since I was already there I just decided to do work from other classes. Then the teacher came up again and said that because it was due on Monday we could come back in the morning to edit, or during her class 2nd period, or during the lunches.
After talking with my group we decided that it would be best to edit in the morning before classes started as well as during our lunches. Victoria has study hall 2nd period so she said she would check if our computer was going to be available to use during that time. But we knew that it wouldn't be the plan to just go during study hall. We also came up with a backup plan in case our original plan doesn't work. If we don't finish editing tomorrow, we will have to come back on Monday. We would have to edit in the morning before class starts and then once class starts to use as much time to edit the video. Hopefully, we can get it done and finished tomorrow because I don't want to cut the process too close to the deadline. Mostly because if we wait till the last minute and something happens with the computers, we would be stuck in a pickle that day.
