Now that we have worked with editing to extent I feel that it will be pretty simple to know what our plans will be for making and editing our documentary from our raw footage. The tools iMovie has will be very useful in making our documentary. I was surprised at how much you could edit footage and how simple the program made it. We could cut a section of footage out of the raw footage, reverse it, change it's speed, change the color saturation, take out the sound from the clip and overlay new audio all within one minute easily. The whole process of making raw footage into a clip to use for a documentary that looks polished and has all the right qualities in both the visual and audio portions. It seems that the most challenging thing in the editing will be choosing which sections of our footage to use, how to edit everything to make it dynamic as well as consistent, and making an engaging narrative from the footage we have available.
iMovie is a lot easier to work with than I expected, the navigation, cutting, editing, and all the other tools that it has seem very easy to find and work with. I had not worked with video editing before so I did not necessarily know what to expect but I was expecting it to take a lot of work for the editing. It is nice to know that the difficulty will mostly come from simply arranging our clips and forming a narrative, as we have total control over that, rather than being limited by the program we are working with.
