Diary for final project

3-7-22

 When I first tried the program it refused to play the clip that I had imported into the program nor will it let me edit it. I don't know if the problems the program or the video files. Afterwards since Adobe Premiere pro didn't work I tried using Adobe Premiere Rush and it didn't work either. In the end I decided to use Clipchamp since that's the only one that I sort of know how to use and the only program that would work without a watermark. Then Ms. Landis told us to use WeVideo so apparently I used that one instead (this got a little confusing)

Before class ended yesterday I spoke with Ms. Landis if we didn't have to use WeVideo, she said we didn't have to use WeVideo and could use any editing software that worked. So I was glad I could use Clipchamp, plus I already made some progress on it. While working I sort of feel pressured into making opening the best I can in class, although I would feel more comfortable doing it al home so I can add the sound effects and would feel like I'm not being watched watched while working. I wonder if Ms. Landis would let us work on the opening from home.🤔

As of now, I think I'm almost done and I just need to add the credits and sound effects. Sooooo..... apparently we now need to add a lot on credits in such a small amount of footage, honestly the worst part is that Shavanie didn't e-mail me the recoding for the title where she zooms in on the I See You on the phone. >:/  

Nevermind that, since I managed to find a way around it, anyways its kind of a good thing since it would go over the limit.

Yesterday I tried to finish the opening at home, but it wouldn't work since I don't have the footage on the computer at home. 

I just found out that on Clipchamp you can add a second audio track, well not just found out more like forgot and remembered since I think I wrote typed about it before in another blog post. I've also managed to add the sounds and music/ test the sounds and music without making too much noise.  

I don't exactly remember what we're supposed to add for the credits and I'm sort of afraid to check the list Sarah sent into the group chat she made for the project, because I don't want to get in trouble for being on my phone. I think I'm just going to go for it since that sounds like a weird thing to worry about when said read out loud. The picture turned out to be blurry, very helpful.

Just found out that what we're currently working isn't the final project... The final editing opening we're doing it as a group... I'm just glad we wont be doing the final project by ourselves and I could do what my group wants to do.

Apologies for not updating recently, my group and I got caught up in editing our final project. Since I'm typing this on my home computer, I don't have access to my version of the opening that I made on Clipchamp. 🙄 So I think our group is doing a swell job with the real final opening, although I do find their technique of editing a tad strange, but it gets the job done.

So far I think we're almost done with the opening, all we need to do is add the sound, music, and credits. Since today Sarah left early Shavanie and I were a bit lost on what to do. Especially with trying to find the right music for the opening, we didn't really find anything that caught our ey-.. err... ears in this case. Honestly, it was a bit of pressure since we also have to do an essay on our own that's also a mid-term grade. I'm pretty sure it also has to be at least 600 words and I think the only time we're given is tomorrow. I feel like I might not be able to finish with that time limit, but I'll just go with it and see how it goes.

Didn't work on the opening today, did midterm essay instead. Sadly, I don't think I can show progress of what we have done so far due me typing out my blogs from a different computer than the one we're editing on.

Apologies for not updating the blog lately, it was spring break and I was caught up with editing and other schoolwork. Right now we've found the right music for the opening and we're also done with the final project. We've also finished the credits as well as the sounds and some finishing touches. Now I just need to get done with the CCR plan, which as to be written in an essay format with 6 paragraphs. I think I took it the wrong way with the double spacing and the font, But hopefully I can finish it by tonight. (I think there may be a word limit as well, but I don't remember)
