Production Blog: Final

This is the final blog. At this point I have everything except for the music. I want to put the song "Life is a highway". The first issue I encountered was how to get the music into the film, as I do not have apple music. I began to research different ways to get music imported to iMovie. One of the ways was to screen record the track and insert the video with audio only. This meant all I had to do was adjust the timing of everything to fit right. First I made sure each image showed for eight seconds. Then I worked on adjusting the timing of the audio. This took way longer than I thought. I redid the audio track seven times before I was content. The first two times I included the beginning of the video which was just the sound of cars starting up and an old film starting to roll. The next four times I included the instrumental, which covered a large amount of the commercial and didn't allow for too much of the lyrics to be played. Finally I edited the audio so that it would start with the beginning lyrics of the song. After adjusting the beginning of the song to the beginning of the video, I realized I never added the outro clip.  So, I added the black background and put text. I made the text show up with the same transition as the into. Then I worked on making the music fade out as the video ended. Once this was all done I watched the video a few times to make sure it all looked good. Then I sent it to one of my friends for their opinion. Their feedback was good and didn't have any suggestions.
