Re-editing

The re-editing process has been difficult due to our situation. One of the main things we needed to do was to make our film less choppy. Besides reducing our amount of takes, we also figured we should try and reduce choppiness while filming. Unfortunately, due to our situation and us not being at school, we didn't know how this was going to work. We made the executive decision to buy Pinnacle studios on Katherine's home computer. This was about $45 so we will all split the price, for $15 each. Because it was at Katherine's house, she would, of course, be the main editor. Although this was not ideal, we were able to make it work. Even though Aitan and I could not be there to edit, we still told Katherine our creative decisions during editing. When Kathy edited/is editing we are just a text away and she texted us if she had a question about how she should edit. When she finishes, we will also watch it and tell her, honestly, if there is anything we should fix. We are very thankful that we decided to have our own SD card because we had all of our footage with us. We didn't have to worry about not being able to edit while we were at home and we're able to do so successfully. Katherine's laptop also had a slot for the SD card, so we didn't even have to buy an SD card reader. As of right now, we are just making do with what we have. We never expected this situation to occur and for the world to go on lockdown, but it has and we have to deal. Although it is annoying to edit and not be able to do things at school, I think we are handling things well. I am so thankful for my group mates and my teachers for being so helpful. Without our teachers' guidance, we would not know how to do anything and would be completely lost. My groupmates have made it so easy to deal with what's going on and our communication has been amazing. Overall, this whole thing has ended in a way we never thought but it has been such a good learning opportunity.
