Wahoo!!!
Check out "The Situation's" new video. It is new and improved!! We edited it and made it even better. Our group decided to add music to give it a nice touch. Prior to adding the music, I felt as though it was lacking a little something. Although the music can be thought of as to be a little depressing, it is bittersweet. We chose the song Imagine by John Lennon because it seemed to fit the mood. Every time I watch the video, the song still touches me! I don't think that we could have chosen a better song to go along with our message.
We also added subtitles to "spruce" up our video. After watching other people's, we noticed that we needed to make some changes. I noticed that a lot of people did use subtitles in their videos and this made it look more professional and much cleaner. We decided to do the same with our video. The subtitles we added helped our video to look more professional.
We also cleaned up our transitions. They were not as clean-cut as they could have been in the first version and we knew that we needed to change this. Smooth transitions are the key to making a good movie and when the transitions are not clean, this can cause the video to appear and look somewhat sloppy.
Another thing that we added was credits at the end of the video. We thanked Jimmy for his time and telling his story. We also added all of our names to the credits.
Overall, I think that this is going to be a great version of our video. I will post the link as soon as we finish it. I hope that these changes throughout the editing process helped to "professionalize" our video as well as clean it up. This whole experience has been a great learning tool and I never thought in a million years that I would ever be able to make a movie!
After watching the second cut of your group's video, I definitely had a more emotional reaction. I am not sure if it was the music, the cleaned up footage, the added titles, or a combination which, when packaged together, made a very powerful story. I feel like I know Jimmy and want to hug him!
