Editing (Or not)

   Today we were supposed to edit, but unfortunately, there was a problem with the pinnacle application. Throughout the thirty or so computers, the application wasn't working. We had the footage ready and set on the SD-card but the images wouldn't play, nor would the application open. We were instructed to move the footage onto google drive or a flash drive. I wonder how this will set our schedule back. I would rather not miss a day to edit. For the most part, the edits we have to make are scripted in the storyboard. We maybe have to adjust somethings, but that is' to be expected. I already pointed out the issues we had but it doesn't hurt to reiterate. The fact that we took each scene in its own separate shot means we have to edit in a way that isn't choppy. I don't think it's going to be completely smooth, but as long as we can get from one frame to another with relative understanding, we'll be fine. I wouldn't have objected if we were given the opportunity to film again today. But alas we weren't even prepared for that option.
    Rather than editing, we had a little fun. We weren't completely slacking off, but we were talking up quite the storm. We discussed all the editing we wanted to do, and how the storyboard would translate into editing. We when over the best times we had to work outside of school and who'd be the one taking the charge. In reality, we'd all participate in the editing, but there is only one person suitable to be behind the computer. We all decided that Victoria would be the one to click and drag our decisions on the actual application. Her work with computers excellent. Every presentation I've ever seen from her is so professional, if I didn't know better I would assume an adult made it. She's also very creative and probably has experience working with software like a pinnacle.
     The fact that we cant edit today is bad, but I don't it's that bad. We had a chance to sit and talk. Talking allowed us to cement some ideas and map out a direction for our editing. It's good to have a plan before in my opinion. Sooner or later we would have to have talked it out. Planning now saves time in the sense that, the next opportunity we have to edit well be ready to jump straight into it. We have a general plan and that is honestly more than what I've seen from others. As a group, I'm sure we'll be able to pull through, despite the complications we've had.
