Our second quarter video has been hard to coplete. It will be even harder to make the deadline that is coming up on Tuesday. Our video has all the sound bites dragged on to the timeline, but there is still a lot to be done. We still have to shorten our video, clean up the audio, and finish dragging b-roll to on top of our soundbites.

Our video used to be about five minutes. we have already taken about thirty seconds off, which is a lot, but it is still too long. I have already taken out a majority of the pauses out of the clips,  but it is still too long. I will continue to work on it and hopefully we will get our video to be under three minutes.

Another thing that we still have to do is clean up our audio. In our video, a few of our clips have really bad audio. When you film with a 60D camera, you hook up a little box that enables you to listen to the audio that you are recording. An issue with this box is that the audio sounds greaat when you listen to it from the box, but after ;you import it on to the computer, you get this really bad hiss. There is a way to take this hiss out, but it takes a lot of time. I have to adjust every single clip that we have already dragged on to the timeline.

The final thing that we have to finish is dragging our b-roll on to our clips. This is already partially done,so we will not have a hard time finishing this. The only problem though is that we have a lot of b-roll, we just have to find the ones that match our video. To find the b-roll that we need, we will have to look at every clip of b-roll that we have already filmed and watch it too see what it is. We have not labeled any of our b-roll, which is the reason that we will have to watch a part of it.

All in all, there is still a lot of work that needs to get done. Hopefully, we will have it done by Tuesday. What we will need to do is work hard and focus, and if we do that, I believe we will be able to get our projects done on time.
