Today I was not able to be with my group to edit our commercial. I was at district finals for swimming. Attendance was mandatory for this event so I had to miss class. But I did not waste my time there because our school was first place for the boys. The event lasted three hours and we competed with four other schools. Now any swimmer who swam faster than a certain time will go to Regionals. And then the fastest athletes on the team will go to state championships. After state championships the season is officially over. Then our team will have a banquet where awards are given out to athletes for certain achievements. Then we will repeat this process next year.
Unfortunately while I was at districts my group wasn't able to work on our film because the computers weren't functioning properly. We will receive new computers next week because of this. If the computers were functioning properly we most likely would have finished the editing process. We would have added captions on certain slides. We also would have created a title slide. In addition we would have adjusted the lighting in our video to make certain parts of it appear to have been filmed at night. We also would have used a split screen to show a trait next to each athlete to show what they represent. In our final slide would have added the Gatorade logo. Next class I plan on adding these features to the commercial. It will be a fun process.
The next time we will work on this will be Monday. This will be our second period. Our footage has already been uploaded onto the computer so we just have to open the program and start editing.We will have to refer to our notes that we took on editing a few classes ago. This will tell us how to use the programs features and edit our video. It also gives us tips on what we should edit on our video. But I don't think that the process will be extremely difficult. We will probably finish it before the end of the period. We will have a final product to submit to Cambridge. I look forward to working on our commercial.
