Editing Issues

Today was the second day of editing. However, Rashawn, Constantine, and I ran into an issue. Rashawn's computer ran out of space. That meant that we couldn't work on editing while in school and we had to wait till after each of us got home to help edit. Rashawn ended up sending Constantine and I a video of him editing. I watched the process and I gave a few suggestions. The first thing I noticed was that the brightness of the video was very bright because we were out in the sun. I told Rashawn to lower the brightness so we could see the music video better. The second thing I noticed was that Rashawn used the wrong clip for one of the scenes. For the scene where Rashawn and Constantine are playing around, I noticed that he used the clip where they are making faces instead of acting for the music video. I pointed this out to Rashawn and he switched the scene to the clip where they are actually acting. The next scene to edit is the flashback scene. I made sure that Rashawn chose the right flashback scene. I told Rashawn to add a vignette around the frame to show that it was an older point in time. A vignette is basically a black border in the shape of an oval. I also told Rashawn to add a black-and-white filter to the flashback scenes. After editing that scene, Rashawn decided to wrap it up. I looked over the final product of today's work. I made sure that everything looked good and ready. I think that the song "Stereo Hearts" that we chose fits the music video well. Today was a good, productive day in my opinion.
