Today we finished editing the video for Jeni's Ice Cream. It is getting really redundant to write about but basically we just moved more clips around, changed the audio levels, cut sound from clips, attached new footage to different sounds. We also needed some more footage from around the outside of Jeni's so we looked back through old folders and found some files we never transferred to Carson's laptop. One of the amateur mistakes we have made has been not getting more than one shots of something. Because our video recorded to an SD card we couldn't watch it until we got home to a computer so a lot of the times we would just take one shot at a certain angle thinking it was good but when we get back to the computer we would realize it was shaky or the lighting was bad. To eliminate this mistake in the future it is always helpful to get multiple takes and then choose the best one when you get back to the computer. We now have four more days to complete two more videos. We have been going at a steady pace of one video every two days which has been about enough time. We might have to work some into the weekend but that shouldn't be a huge problem.
