Period 2 Editing

Sooooo....lots of terrific footage from yesterday's shoot!  IN FACT...we have SO MUCH good footage, we can't possibly make just 1 commercial.  Instead, we're gonna make 3!!!
That's right, you're going to join forces with another team to edit your footage together into one 30-second commercial!  3 teams of people will do this.  Each commercial will have a slightly different "flavor"  (ha ha ha) and style to it, which is what we want.  The client is thrilled with this idea, so we're going to pursue it.

Here's how this will work:

1. Put your best edited clips on the timeline.  NOTHING more than 4 seconds long.
2. We will rotate and view each team's footage; take notes on what you see.
3. Talk with your teammate about which project is most compatible with yours, and why.  Declare at least 2 reasons why your footage and theirs would compliment each other in a commercial.
4. Combinations will be decided today, and teams will combine their footage by exporting one iMovie timeline project as an .mov file and copying it to the other team's project.
5. The combined team of 4 people will then complete the edited clips, add in a soundtrack and credits, and submit the commercial by the end of the class period on Friday.
