Re-editing

The process of re-editing has been difficult because of our situation. The main factors of change were to lower our amount of takes and to try and decrease the choppiness of the film. Unluckily, because of our circumstances and our inability to go to school, we failed to recognize how this was going to work. We made the choice to buy pinnacle studios on Kathy's computer. This was about $45 so we all paid $15. Since Kathy was the person with the editing software so she is obviously the editor for the time being. Although this situation is not ideal, we are doing our best to work it out. Amy and I obviously cannot be there to edit, so we are informing Kathy of our editing ideas so she can apply them. If Kathy needs our input on anything with the editing process she can either call or text us. In the meantime, while we wait for her to finish we will give her our honest opinions so she knows exactly how to make it better. We are very thankful that we had a personal SD card because that meant we had all of our footage. Luckily, since we found a solution for editing we did not need to be stressed about it. We also had the problem of not having an SD card reader but Kathy's computer has an SD card reader in it so that was solved easily. We by no means anticipated this situation to arise and for the world to go on lockdown, however, it has and we have to deal with the cards that were dealt to us. Although it is annoying to edit and no longer be able to do things at school, I think we are managing matters as well as we possibly can. I'm so grateful for the people I got to work with as well as my instructors for being so beneficial to our learning. Without the help of our teacher, we would not know how to do anything and would be very confused. The people that I am working with are very smart and know exactly what do do in hard times such as these. Even though this whole situation is very random and unexpected it has turned into a good learning experience. All in all, I believe that our final task is going to come out amazing and I cannot wait to see how it looks.
