Putting It All Together

 Once all the scenes were aligned in the order they needed to be, I had to make sure the timing was right. This included making sure that our transitions from scene to scene lined up with the music. I also made sure transitions between scenes were smooth and seamless. For example, in the 6th scene, I zoomed in on my group member Ben's head to create a black screen. this would transition into our 7th scene. Our 7th scene would fade in from a black screen so that the transition looked smooth. Another example of a transition that I used would be from the first scene to the second. I used a wipe transition from us walking up to the ticket booth to Ben getting his skates. During the editing process, we mostly used jump cuts. But for the scenes of us skating, I used a fading transition. For the last two scenes, it faded out from Lily and Addison waving goodbye to the camera to a screen that said "The end". It was originally planned that for the scene of us tying our ice skates on we would do a split screen of all of us tying our shoes. But I could not figure out how to do it so instead, we did very short mini-scenes. Jumping from person to person putting their skates on. During the editing process, all our clips together went over the maximum time we were allowed. So I speed up the scenes of my group members and me writing our letters I was asking for a good media studies grade. This allowed us to be in the minute and 15-second requirement of the assignment. Without having to delete any scenes. I also decided to add in the video that I shot of the mall Santa. But because I was working with such a short amount of time I had to cut it to a shorter length. All I had to do now was to make sure the timing was right. Although not all scenes that were shot were included in the music video, I was able to achieve a music video with a time of one minute and 15 seconds. I made this video by using Imovie.
