I finished the rough cut of the promotional video for The Young Sound Seekers camp. I sent the video to Eve to get her thoughts about it, and we are meeting tomorrow to go over it. Overall I think the video is good, but in the end, it’s not about what I think it is what Eve and the Atlantic Center for the Arts feel about it. The process I had for making this video was to divide and concur. I started by filtering the video and photos that I thought were good to include and putting them in a separate folder. Then after going through what I recorded I listened to the interviews I did with the students and find the timestamps of good statements to include. Once I had everything I needed prepared I opened up Hitfilm Express, the editing software I use, and sorted the media I had based on the location they were recorded at. Dividing up everything this was helped me a lot because it stopped me from constantly going through the files I had, and allowed me to know where everything was. Working on this video was generally pretty smooth, except for the fact my editing software would randomly crash; however, this got me into the habit of saving after nearly every action I did. One time after working for around 10 minutes without saving the software crashed and I decided that was a good time for a dinner break. This was an odd experience for me because usually when I work on Hitfilms I don’t go through this. I think what caused this problem was that were so many media files to keep track the software was struggling a bit. This road bump didn’t stop me though and I was able to finish the rough cut in a decent time.
