Video+Editing+Project

This week's assignment was to post a video in which we edit video clips to make a one minute video. Seemed pretty easy being so short, but when it actually came down to cutting this shot and that shot, it proved to be a difficult task. I first had to decide what kind of video to make. I ended up choosing a movie trailer. The idea came to me as I was discussing the assignment with my wife. We had attended my son's Pre-K graduation and I had video footage that I needed to go through, so I thought what better way. As I started collecting video and stills for my storyboard, my story began to come together. That's when I realized how difficult it would be to narrow it down to a minute. With all of the clips together before the cutting, I was at 5 minutes. I slowly started cutting this clip and that clip and had to eliminate a few clips in order to meet the time requirements. In the end, I ended up just over one minute because I had to include titles and credits. I think the piece came out great and look forward to sharing with family and friends.
