Finally Done Editing! - MV Blog

Once all the scenes were edited, I had to add the song we are using into the video. Some scenes were rearranged to a different order. The scenes that were changed were the scenes were we had to grab the napkins and the confetti were made into a split scene. Once i was done i had to be done was run the entire film to make sure everything was ok. Once I did that, I saw that the duration still went a little over 1 minute. So, I had to go back and check and see which scenes to cut down even more. I first cut down the first opening scene by a couple seconds. Then I cut down the"setting the table up" scene so it wasn't as long anymore. Then the phone call scene was cut, in a way that it looked like a jump cut. The phone convo was cut very short. Then the scene were the little girl and the mom are walking was also cute so that way there wasn't walking too much from scene to scene. Then more editing came into play. The scene where one of the actors is walking in target was sped up.  Speeding up the scene allowed the music in the background to nicely correspond with the scene overall. The next few scenes that followed were also cut down. I made sure to show my group members so that it made sense and didn't look too choppy. By doing all this, I achieved a time of 1 and 12 seconds.
