Foolish planners

As I stated on my spring break schedule blog, the outline Lauren and I created set expectations for us to complete the editing of our 5 minute excerpt by the end of this week. However, understanding the hectic nature of vacation and trip plans, I admitted that the schedule was not be strict and would merely serve as a reminder of what we hoped to accomplish. After spending nearly a week in California, I have realized that Lauren and I were right in stating that the outline would likely not be completely followed.

As I tourist around a variety of cities, I have done my best to actively communicate with Lauren and to work on different components of the portfolio project, such as the social media or the documentary itself. Although I have yet to complete, or seriously advance, the editing journey, I have taken beginning steps. Firstly, I went through the tedious and frustrating process of transporting the clips from my phone onto my laptop and then placing the videos on the Adobe platform. Since doing this, I have spent my free time going through the interview footage and selecting/cutting away the sequences and narratives we wish to include in our piece. Below is a screenshot of one of the videos on the platform as I watch and select the primary points. 

Although I wish we had more time to complete our project during break, I feel that the little we have accomplished is optimal and that Lauren and I are perfectly on track to conclude all the components by the deadline.
