Editing: The commercial

   Today my group was supposed to edit our film. However, our entire class is facing technical difficulty issues due to pinnacle studios not working. We filmed most of our footage last class but we couldn't film the last two scenes because we didn't bring the McDonalds happy meal boxes. Over the weekend Jarvia purchased two happy meal boxes. The boxes were for her and Lauren to use as props. Inside Jarvia's box was french fries, apple juice, apples, a cheeseburger and a toy. Lauren had the same order as Jarvia except her happy meal came with nuggets and milk. We signed out a camera and a tripod after we were given instructions. After signing out the items we needed we went to go change into our outfits that we wore when we filmed the other scenes. After we changed into our clothes we went to the same table that we used to record the other scenes.
   We went to the table to record a trunk shot of Jarvia and Lauren opening a McDonalds happy meal and acting surprised. They were surprised to find a barbie doll in their box. Before we started recording Jarvia had to go back to the classroom and grab the barbie dolls. After she brought the dolls we quickly filmed multiple takes of them opening the box. Once we were done filming the trunk shots we went to the media center. At our school the media center is basically our version of a library. We wanted to use the double doors at the entrance. We used these doors to record us walking out of McDonalds onto the outdoor seating area. This scene was the hardest scene to record mainly because the camera couldn't fit all of us in it. By this I mean that only two people were able to be seen. We corrected this issue by condensing as we walked through the double doors.
  Lastly, we went to go dump all of todays footage into google drive. We also had to take our old dumped footage out of pinnacle studios and place it in google drive as well. We couldn't edit today because pinnacle studios was not working on any of the desktops in our classroom. This is slowing down our film making process. Now we're going to have to wait on this issue to be fixed. If we didn't run into this issue then we would have probably finished editing our film in this period. Hopefully this technical difficulty issue will be fixed by next class. If it's not then it's going to hold up the film making process even more. That's all we did today. Next class will be more productive if pinnacle studios is up and running.
