Finishing Up Editing

 I re-filmed the zoom shots today. I was able to move them to my computer and get them ready to fit seamlessly into the video. Using what I found on youtube the scenes look very good and adds lots of value to the story being told. I filmed these shots from a first-person view to make it feel like you are looking through the actors' eyes. I had to cut these shots down from the original lengths and made them each about 4 seconds long. The next thing I did was include the music in the file. I did this by recording the music with my phone. When I tied to add it to my computer though the quality was awful. To fix this I had to wait until my phone sent the recording to my computer over stronger wifi. When this did not work either I had to use a cable to transfer the recording at the highest quality possible. When I got to school and added the music in Ryan listened and decided that there was a better part of the song we should use. We recorded this part of the song and tried adding the music in. I did not like the more abrupt start to the song and preferred the original we had that started softer and where the words started near the middle of the first scene and ended with a segment of just beats. This felt more natural and helped the video flow better. I ended up changing the music back to what I had originally.  Without trying at that point the video clip synced up perfectly with the words in the song about the mother singing the child to sleep. The last thing that I had to do was add the video clip that Ryan sent me to the end of the video. We figured that this would be a better ending as opposed to the mother turning off the light in the room. The actor's little brother filmed the shot from an eye level so we could see the emotion in the actor's eyes. This ended the video perfectly and we were able to sync it up with the last "stressed out" to show that the actor was now stressed in his old age.
