Editing Blog

 As the editing process began, the first things I did was upload my shots together into one project into iMovie and arrange them into chronological order. Once that was finished, I then created the transitions between my shots. Transitions such as slide and dissolve were  used. I then recorded some Star Wars themed music, and uploaded that as background music for my commercial. I then recorded audio of my own voice to include into my commercial. I chose to record my audio at this point because I figured it would be easier to sync my audio to my already edited footage because I would know how long my commercial would be ahead of time. This way I would know how fast or slow to speak. That was the basic idea of how I edited together my commercial. I would, however, like to talk about specific occasions were editing was able to greatly improve the project. If you read my filing blog, you know that I originally planned to have a Darth Vader prop in my commercial that had moving arms and legs. The plan was to move Darth Vader’s hand upwards, as though he is using the force. I wasn’t able to use that, and instead used a Darth Vader toy without any moving arms or legs. To fix this, I edited a shot of the Darth Vader toy, followed by a real scene from Star Wars: Rogue one in which Darth Vader is using the force. Another issue I ran into was that I wanted to have my final shot be the baby yoda toy in packaging with Store brands and “The Mandalorian” titled screen be in the shot. making these type of edits is not possible in iMovie. However, iMovie can upload photos. So in order to fix this issue, I took a picture of baby yoda in his packaging, I then uploaded this photo to the app: Autodesk Sketchbook which is a free app that has a lot of the same features as photoshop. I then uploaded png’s from the mandalorian, Disney plus, and various store brands. I then uploaded this image into iMovie as a final shot to my commercial.
