Time and Voiceover/ Editing!

Today is the first day of editing our commercials and my group and I have been putting in a lot of effort. During editing, I had to make sure that the timing and audio were right. This included editing music that was in the background and the timing of how short or how long the video is. The video before the editing was longer than the maximum time  we were given so, it had to be cut short. To start off, the first editing we did was on one of a group member's laptop. Their laptop was very helpful and useful  because it was fast so we did not have to worry about slow rendering. There wasn't any issues either which was great. The first thing that had to be done was playing the full film. The total time of the film was forty two seconds. This is twelve seconds more than the amount we are supposed to have, which is why we shortened it. My teammates and I had to specifically take out the scenes we wanted to keep and what we wanted to get rid of. I cut out parts that were unimportant. For example, scenes that  had no audio or had nothing extra to make the commercial interesting. I also did the voiceover for the commercial. At the end of the video, the Starbucks logo will appear and my voice will be used as the voiceover. I did have to do multiple takes because the audio was too quiet. It took a total of five tries to get the voiceover right. I had to adjust the audio and I had to fit the voiceover in at a specific time. I also suggested some transitions we could use in the video which we did end up using. To add, I helped choosing the filters in the video to make the film more appealing. There is still editing to do,  but majority of it is finished.
