Editing Pt.2

Today my friend Jason came and helped me edit audio and other things for my project. My recommendation for the software came from him so he had a very good grasp of how to properly use it. We edited all the audio, and also added additional narrations for the viewers. Having help really motivated me and i liked being taught by a peer. It was a change of pace and i am ready to present my video.

Editing

I edited most of my video today. I uploaded the clips and put them together in sequential order to begin. One of my main issues today was my unfamiliarity with the software. I spent more time figuring out the controls than I did editing shots. However, by the end of the period i felt much more comfortable with the software. I still need to add all the audio, as well as transitions and effects, but i feel confident in my progress.

New footage!

Today i filmed most of the content needed for my video. I got several good scenes of the students working, as well as multiple interviews. These interviews involved the construction teacher, and three construction students. I was happy with the good on-the-spot responses i got from each subject. My questions were basically "What have you done here that you're most proud of?" I also got footage of some finished projects. The editing software (adobe premiere 8) has arrived and i plan on getting on and learning the ins and outs so i can do well with the real footage.
