Final Touches

 The next day of editing, Ashley and I had each finished the editing she and I were assigned to. I sent my clips to Ashley's phone and she looked them over. She also sent me her clips for review. I collaborated with Ashley for the next part. I first added all of the footage collected into an editing software called iMovie. She and I both edited each of the clips into their respective order. Then as stated in the last update, she and I edited the raw footage to fit the time restrictions. Some clips had to be shortened, elongated, slowed down, or sped up. After this basic editing, the video was already looking great. All of the group members watched this version first, to make sure each member liked the way the video was going. All of the members agreed this looked great already. There were some small mistakes that Ashley and I were able to fix up quickly, and resume to more complex editing. This included an overlap in sound and a bit of sound delay. After this, Ashley and I sent it each to a few friends, so others could check for mistakes as well, and give fresh perspective. Everyone gave positive feedback, and everyone in the group was very happy with this. So I moved on to more detailed editing now. This included editing the entire beach montage scene of the actors eating and dancing, I did this part mostly on my own. This also included the small audio extras such as the message 'ding' and the sending 'whoosh' that Sophia recommended to the group, as well as a slight filter during the beach scene. The original Cheap Thrills Music Video was very vintage based, and I thought it would be nice to pay homage to the original, so I added a filter that gave me a very vintage film camera vibe. After checking the audio again, and aligning the sounds, my group was done. All of the group watched the video and were all so proud of the work the group had put into this, knowing it paid off.
