Final Blog for Commercial

The last two class periods we've been working on editing our commercial. I felt like this was the most fun thing to do during the process of making the commercial. In a previous class our teacher taught us how to use Pinnacle Studios. We could not edit our commercial when we wanted to so we had to get our raw footage clip to Michael's google drive. Our group was excited to start start editing for the first time. We had to pull out our notes so we could remember exactly everything we needed to do for the commercial. First we imported our commercial folder which was filled with the raw footage. That process took a while so we brainstormed what general idea we had for our commercial. Our commercial was pretty simple so brainstorming was not a big issue.

On the first day we got a lot done. Once the footage imported we got working on the commercial immediately. We went through are raw footages and decided which ones we wanted to use. We recorded each clip at least twice just incase something would've been wrong. After figuring the 5 clips we wanted to use it was time to put it together. Fulvio dragged the clips together. When we edited something it would take a couple seconds to render which was annoying in my opinion. By the time class ended we had our clips in the right order we just needed to add finishing touches.

On the last day Michael got our computer. We didn't waste no time so we could get this commercial done. Michael opened Pinnacle Studios and our stuff was still there. So today we added the sounds and transitions. I did not know it was so much transitions we could use. Edguardo put the transitions and I gave him the advice. After adding all of that in it was time to export. The export took about 5 minutes maximum. We had to put it as a MPEG also. We found it after about 2 minutes , then we were done. At last we submitted it to our teacher.
