Editing Blog: Finally Done

 Today was my second and final day of editing. In the previous day my group was able to get all our clips together and in the correct order. Me and my partner had also set all the transitions and shortened clips to fit the time limit of 30 seconds. So all that was left for today was to add the outro that all Extra gum commercials have. Me and my partner wanted to insert the classic ending animation of the slogan revealing across the screen with a pack of extra gum in the middle. But when we were shorting clips to fit the time limit we only left a very small amount of time left to actually work with. So when I inserted the clip into the end, I had to speed the clip up so that it would fit and not go over 30 seconds. In the clip there is a voiceover that say "Give extra, get extra", which is the company's slogan. When I sped up the clip the voice over was very hard to hear and also the animation would go by to quick. In general in would give a really fast and rushed ending to the commercial. When I discussed the issue to my partner we both agreed that we didn't want to end the commercial in this manner. After discussing some ideas on other ways to work around this problem we finally came to a agreement. 12 We decided that instead of having a completely different scene dedicated to the ending and slogan. We would cross over the ending into the last part of the fifth scene. For this I would need to add text instead of relying on the clip for an actual Extra commercial. Also I would have to add the voiceover from the commercials too. 16 this was very easy, all I did was extract the audio from the clip we were going to use and put it over the last scene. We picked a animation for the text that we thought fit the commercial the best. 18 After this I did minor tweaking just to make sure that everything fit smoothly and everything was lined up. This would conclude the editing for the commercial, it was a very interesting and fun experience and I am pleased with he final product.
