Editing Journey (Oct 25-Nov 6)

On October 25, our classmates had to wrap up filming and use the school's computers to begin editing. This is if they did not bring their own laptops to edit their projects. This assignment was supposed to be finished by the 29th. Except, when they came to class and began to work on their commercials, the editing studio seemed to not work. This was bad news because the class could not work on their video project. However, it turned out completely fair because my teacher extended the date (November 11). She also promised that the computers would be fixed by the next time we would walk in. This gave my classmates more time to edit. In the meantime, they were given the task to blog about editing, but most of them could not really tell the truth. Instead, they blogged about not being able to edit, and what their expectations were.

My group did not find this an inconvenience we had my friend's laptop to work on our commercial.
The class was blogging while we were editing our commercial. We were happy with our results after every member had put in their own work and inputs. We had finished and began exporting the movie, but then my group and I realized we had to get our editing blog done. That is where I discussed what work I did while we were editing our commercial. We managed to work all the way until the end of class and submit it before leaving. We had successfully finished on October 29th and had completed before anyone else could. On Halloween, I reviewed our material to make sure our plan did not get messed up. One of the members had left on a trip, so Macy and I decided to show our teacher our final product. She ended up thinking that our commercial was very creative and loved the way it came out.

On November 4, our teacher announced what would be the plans for this week. She told our class that we would be allowed to edit for 2 more days. My classmates were given the time that was promised. This allowed them to create their commercial the way they wanted to. My friend and I were left to observe other groups as they finished up their editing. We even got to view a friend's PSA on vaping. We finally got to send our commercial to our teacher, and that way, we wouldn't have to worry about turning it in later. November 6 came around, and it was the last day to edit; everyone was adding their final touches. It was the last day because our class needs to work on our critical reflection questions next time. These important questions and the commercial will both be due on Monday, November 11.
