Can't Stop, Won't Stop (Editing)

Mood: Persevering

Hey! Just a little update on my editing last night, which went on for quite a while. I used Quicktime to make a screen recording of my editing process (a cool feature I discovered doing my project last year, but I recently started using it). Here's a little video (thanks to a 15000% speed increase) of my editing:


Again, I worked on cropping shots, fixing headroom, matching the background color of various shots, organizing the order of shots for maximum flow, etc. I also delved into the sound portion of editing, which I also used iMovie for. Basically, for the sound, Kass recorded each of our subjects saying the following 3 things:

#1: They call us lazy. They call us ignorant. They call us dependent. They call us superficial. They call us irresponsible. They call us spoiled. They call us self-absorbed. They call us apathetic.
#2: But they're wrong.
#3: We are innovators. We are caring. We are special. We are valuable. We are respectable. We are intelligent. We are involved. We are the future. We are Generation Z, and we are not who you think we are.

For ease, each number is its own recording so that in editing, they are easy to separate and use. The plan was to use all of our subjects voices throughout the intro, and to use the best recorded words/phrases for each person. For #2, we decided that the best voice would be used because the line is extremely important in shifting the tone of our piece. The talented winner is -- drumroll please -- Pedro! I felt that his recording was the strongest and he said it at a nice speed, one that can be easily worked with. Here it is:



Glorious, isn't is? :D Anyhow, I will be back in no time to give some further updates on my individual progress and how the doc overall is coming together. It's an exciting time, so I'll keep ya posted!

Chey :)
