Effects/Soundtracks- A great project I say, well to be that great it must have had some effects in there???  Well I would say to that, damn right, a shit load...  With impressive blends, transitions, composites, manttles and, my favorite, bonus footage...  First of all, adobe comes with a video cd of just tons of arty footage, like clocks spining, sun rises, spining rocks...nice stuff.  Well, I through that in there, blended it, transitioned it and bam...  Then after twiking for awhile...it look pretty good!!!  The better part comes with the songs, I downloaded the CSI theme song.  Which is "Who Are You" by The Who...  It fit great!!!!  and everything just went perfect.....

Editing Advancements-  Well, it was a test of my skills and personally, I think I past...  I was really dealing with some crap raw footage and it was turned into a massive success...  I really didn't learn anything new but practiced the technics I knew.

Background- This was the third project that I was assigned in my A/V class.  The job was to make a commercial for Class Acts to boost ticket sales.  Class Acts being the school talent show, the video should deffinatly be pretty good.  So when it came time to film, we found that we had three directors.  Having more then one director gets tricky, and we had three.  So the first day we filmed Tonys ideas, second day, Amandas ideas, and mine on the third.  Then it was up to me...  I wasn't very excited about editing because I thought it would never come out.  But, I under-estimated myself.  Some how I got that video to look just like (originally) a CSI beginning, and it was AWESOME!!!!  It went 2 mins over the 2 min time limit, but the teacher, my group, the other group and me a little were blown away.  One group member said, "I felt like crying, you are a genius...", another said, "How do you edited this good every-time...", and the teacher said, "No compitition, the other group's out..."  By out, he meant that they weren't going on BHS tv, the school network.  When the project was assigned, the teacher said, the best project will recieve a 100 and go on BHS tv...the loser will recieve a 75 and no BHS tv...  We won the BHS aword.
