iMovie really helped me improve my editing skills. From doing little tasks and choosing iMovie to complete this task really helped me understand how to use this software. From having practice on iMovie I believe definitely helped me whilst I was making my music video, this is because I had already found out what iMovie has to offer which meant I knew how to edit, use effects, add music etc. I think iMovie is a good software to use as it can be considered challenging at times but you can easily over come this. I think it is a pretty straight forward software.

iMovie has also helped me whilst doing my Evaluation. I have used iMovie for 2 of my evaluation questions. iMovie the software fitted in for these questions as I had to include clips of music videos, pictures, music and a voice over. iMovie helped me to do this and would have took me less time on iMovie rather than if I chose a different software. The editing process on iMovie is easy to understand, something that also helped me on iMovie is how clearly labelled everything was. You could easily find something if you was looking for it, if you was patient.

Final Music Video

Editing Our Video

So far we have come up with this. We spent an hour on one part of the video because the lip syncing wasn't fitting in with the music for the video. We finally got the timing right. We then decided to edit the clips and we found an effect that we liked- we did this by using the effects on iMovie.

Asking Permission To Film

We wrote an email to our teacher asking if she could seek permission to the other teachers around the school as we had no way of doing this. We have till Tuesday to decide on another person we can film if one of our chosen choices say no. 

Filming

We was going to film today (5.12.13), however, the weather has turned out to be very window and we don't feel like we will be able to get good footage as the tripod won't be able to stand on it's own without support. So we have rescheduled the filming shoot for tomorrow as we looked at the weather and it indicates that it's going to be sunny from 9:00 am - 14:00pm. These are the times when we will be going filming.

Editing

This is the first part of our video that we have edited. We have played around with the editing techniques to create an old looking effect on the first part, this signifies the idea of memories in the video and I think this works well with the song. The effect also goes with setting, the old fashioned building along with the effect that matches. We have put together the bits of footage we have and looked at how we can get them in time with the music. After editing this clip of the video we have found that some of our footage is out of focus, therefore we have set a new filming date in order to get some better footage. This is important to keep the overall quality of our video up.

Editing Continued

We carried one editing the footage that we had today. We used the skills that we've already learnt through making movies on iMovie. We learnt how to make sure the footage was in time with the song. We also found that we might need to film again and when we can do this. We have also planned dates to finish filming and finish editing so that we can make sure our video is finished in time for the hand in date. We should whilst editing that playing around with the effects on iMovie will make all our footage come together and look as professional as we can.
