Well, at least I can say I am learning. I am trying new things. You know what... as we start to pull into a different part of the pandemic, I feel like part of me is returning. And while I am struggling with learning how to edit movie clips, it’s all good. I realize that I’m not in film school. I’m an educator trying to sincerely capture a moment, some philosophy, and some intent on camera. Sometimes my students do this, too. They do their best. And that is good enough when you are learning. I ended up watching some YouTube clips on using iMovie. I probably should have used what we were given with Touro, but I had used iMovie before— and I think my desire was to stay with that. Probably a mistake. Maybe as I go to B roll I will use it. And while I have no issues being on camera (I look more confident than I feel lol) I spent waaaay more time editing than I should have. For filming, I ended up going to the field to capture some A roll. At practice, I plan to add in some clips of players doing things that add to my work. As a person and a film student, I am a work in progress.
