Editing Blog: Importing and Organizing

 After finishing up with the filming process, we moved on to editing. Since we recorded on one device, we decided to share the videos with one another. This is because we wanted to each be able to individually go through the videos, as well as together. We thought about sending the messages through text or email, however there were too many to do so. The easiest option would be to create an iCloud photo album or store it in Google Drive. We decided to use iCloud because we would be editing on iMovie. At first the album wasn't working because of the quantity of videos, however after adjusting settings on our devices, we managed to share the videos between the three of us. Each of us individually went through the videos to make sure we had all of the footage. We also made sure to go through them to avoid mistakes that wouldn't be seen until we began filming. We wanted to keep our filming days to a minimum to avoid too much contact during the current pandemic. Thankfully, we were able to get good shots of all of our scenes. Afterward, it was time to import the videos to iMovie. Before doing this, we had to create folders on each of our computers to move the videos out of the iCloud album. This way, the videos could be imported with the press of a button. When we went to iMovie and imported the videos, they downloaded in the order we filmed them. Since we filmed by character, we had to reorganize the videos. The outdoor videos also had to be fit at the beginning and end. The majority of the scenes were in order though because the camera is supposed to follow one girl at a time. We had to find where we wanted action matches and put those videos next to one another. This took some time but made editing so much easier!
