Audio Issues on iMovie

Today was my first day of editing. After the mess that was filming, I felt like I needed to be extremely carefully in this stage. Once I made sure that I was in fact, completely finished with filming for the opening sequence, I comfortably began to edit. The editing process is one I typically enjoy. I don't find it to be as tedious or time consuming as filming is. I am usually able to finish editing within a day or two, given the time constraints. I have a specific process when it comes editing. This specific process is pretty basic, I have to admit. However, for me at least, it is extremely helpful. The process goes as follows. I first begin to transfer all the clips into a new project on iMovie. I then piece all of the clips together. I piece them in accordance to how they appear on the storyboard. After this, I begin to layer in any music that is needed and begin to add in any transitions and whatnot. While editing, I ran into a few issues, as I usually do. The first issue was t

I decided to try to finish editing as soon as possible. I decided on this for a few reasons. One of those reasons being that I wanted to have people review my opening sequence early on.

Other than that concern, I took this day to finalize the film before I presented it to others. I made any adjustments I deemed necessary to certain clips.

I am specific with the transitions I use to ensure that the opening sequence flows nicely and that it makes sense. I would never want to watch a piece of film where the scenes are emotionally charged and out of the blue comes a transition that throws you so off guard, that you laugh. This has

Film Review

For the film review, I had two people review my opening sequence. I had two classmates review the opening sequence. I choose to have these two classmates specifically review my opening sequence for a few reasons. These classmates and I do not know each other very well and they are both in a higher grade level than me. I did this to ensure there is little to no bias toward me and my work. I also did this to ensure there will be an honest critique. I showed them both the video separately and asked that they give their opinion, along with any changes they deemed necessary. The two classmates both enjoyed watching my opening sequence. They both said that it was well put together and that it made perfect sense. A critique I got from one of the classmates was to make the beginning of the opening sequence more concise. This was so that viewers would be able to better understand what the main character was trying to say. She was specifically referencing the voiceover, which I completely agreed
