Today is October 28, 2019 and Mario, Xavier, and I are beginning to work on our editing process for our film. Once we started we took out our flash drive with all of our information and videos on it, and plugged it into the computer. Afterwards we transferred the the video clips onto the computer and waited for the computer to download the whole information. We then tried to watch the videos from the computer, however, were surprised to find out that the computer didn’t work and as well did not have pinnacle Studios so we couldn’t even use it to edit. After this occurred we went on another computer and followed the same process as the first time, and no result. This was a very troublesome process and we ended up getting no where on the editing. Furthermore, we were informed on the fact that if there are any computer problems then we will be given more time to do the editing another time, which was a great relief, but at the same time it didn’t make me truly happy cause I realized that this whole hour an a half that we had in class was going to be wasted and put to no good use.
Moreover, I was honestly really bothered and upset at the whole situation, due to the fact that my group and I were eager to begin the editing process. I honestly feel like we wasted a good amount of time because we ended up not doing anything in the project. I believe that we need new equipment and new computers because the ones we are using are not allowing us to do anything and keep on giving us problems which is very bothersome. Pinnacle Studio being an all-around, easy-to-use yet very powerful app which allows us to use our creativity, requires fast computers. The reasoning behind this is that the software features a built in user interface designed for very complex forms of editing, and the interface allows quick access to all the tools with unprecedented power and precision. If we do not receive new computers i believe these problems will continue to occur and will give us more and more problems along the road.
Lastly, In the end to at least do something to get ahead. We began to work on our film using iMovie which is another editing app for film-making. I had to do this from the phone which was very time consuming as a phone is not meant to be used for film work and editing films. We were able to upload everything and place everything into the correct sequence and add some transitions, but honestly today has been a very unproductive day and its been due largely to the inadequate equipment and technology having to be used. We hope that next class this problem will be fixed and can then begin to further work on our commercial. If not then I don’t know what we will do. But honestly that is the next classes problem and all I know is that I can’t be blamed or be in trouble for not finishing when the computer I'm using doesn’t work.
