Editing Blog for Music Video- Deletion and Redesign

 Today, we were planning on adding the finishing touches to our project- cutting several seconds off our runtime, adding filters, and adjusting various clips: that sort of thing. However, when we pulled up our project to begin working on the aforementioned touches, we discovered that, when we had made our last changes to our project a few days earlier, something must have happened to the system to the point where the changes did not save. As a result of this, our last two scenes- roughly fifteen to twenty seconds of footage- had been deleted, and the soundtrack had never been added and adjusted. As a result of this, we had to get the clips which were involved in the final two scenes, reinsert them into iMovie, and recut them down to roughly where they were cut to before the delete. After this, we put them into the movie itself, and then reinserted the soundtrack and cut it down to the time interval which we were and are planning on using- from about 45 seconds to around two minutes into the song. Once we had this interval cut out, I helped adjust its placement while also looking at different filters in iMovie. The theory we were running with is that our music video has two concurrent "timelines", which were filmed in two different locations. I decided to further highlight the difference between the two by adding a filter to one of the timelines. The decision was split between the Blue, Vintage, or Vintage Western filters- each one had their respective benefits, but they all made the scenes they were applied to look ethereal and mystical. In the end, I decided on using the Vintage filter. After it was applied to all relevant scenes, we made our final adjustments to the scenes, cutting a few precise seconds off some of the longer ones, and completed our project.
