The editing of the video was extremely important as there were multiple locations that needed to be stitched together. The first part was to cut out all the failed shots. This would include moments where the actors would laugh or do the wrong actions. Some parts had to be cropped as there was something we didn’t want shown in the scenes like background people. Next up some scenes had to be put in the right order so it matches the story. This was important to match the storyline in editing by cutting and pasting the scenes where they needed to be. Since my group filmed back to back the editing was easier as it was naturally in the right order for the most part. The editing was done on a computer. The program the editing was done on was iMovie since it was easy and free. Additionally, iMovie allows editing to be done from computer or phone. This allowed easy access to switch platforms and make editing a much simpler task. Another important part was to make sure the video was the exact time limit allowed. To ensure there was enough time an outro had to be added in editing. Furthermore, some scenes had to be extended and stretched to add more run time. For some scenes this was the opposite where parts had to be cut out or sped up to make it look good. The shot where I was walking to grab the plate had to be sped up. Another part that requires editing was the scene where my group grabbed a bunch of party supplies. The editing used was a split screen to show all the items used. A simple addition was to add transitions to the video. It wasn’t anything fancy but it helped make the scenes smoother.
