Editing Fun

  As the editor, I edited the whole music video. I made sure to put all the scenes aligned in the order they needed to be. This included both editing the time and speeding up the time. I also had to cut the videos just right. Some scenes were not included in the film because it dragged out the time. I used my phone to edit all of it. It was all edited on iMovie. What had to be done was run the entire film. Once I did that, I saw that the duration went a little over 5 minutes. So, I had to go back and check and see which scenes to cut down even more. I cut down the opening scene by a couple seconds. There was unnecessary moments in each video. Then I cut down one of the ice skating scenes. This made the duration of the music video shorter,

which was good for the film. Then when Ben was skating and fell, I edited it in a way that it looked like a fade transition. Then the scene were I was writing to Santa was

also cut short so that we weren’t writing too much from scene to scene. Then more editing came into

play. The scene where Ben fell down was where I sped up the time. He fell too slow. Speeding up the scene allowed the music in the background to nicely correspond with the

scene overall because it was a upbeat song. The next few scenes that followed were also cut down. I made sure to show my

group members equally so that everyone was included. By doing all this, I achieved a

time of 2 minutes.
