Editing the commercial

Today during class, all of the computers are shot. They work, but the editing app we need to use to actually edit, is not working right now. I am the editor for this project, and since the app is not working, I can not do my part. Bu the teacher will not fail us just because the computers here are not working. We are not allowed to edit at home, so she is not going to take points off of our projects if they are not done by the time it is due. There are about 28 computers in this classroom, and the teacher said that every other computer works. Which does not mkae much sense because we cant get owrk done before the end of class. Which will then effect our grades, and it will be catostrophic. But today, everyone is dumping their last pieces of footage onto the computers if they havent had the chance to. Everyone is also, doing their last pieces of filming, and doing their blogs.
     I am actually very excited to edit the commercial because I love to edit. When I was younger, I use to record myself on my iphone 6s and edit my videos on iMovie.Ever since the first time I ever did that, I fell in love with it. I have a basic plan when it comes to editing this commercial. We plan on doing some voice overs, and a lot of cut scenes. But I will talk more about what we did when the time comes. Being the editor, it does get boring at first because you have to watch everyone else work. But, once the scenes are all done being filmed, you work for a long time. Since this is my first time doing a big project like this one, the pressure is on. It all comes down to how I edit to bring everything together.
       I am kind of nervous to edit I am not going to lie, but I am also very excited as well. I have been editing for years on my phone. It is just that things are much more complicated now that we are doing it on computers. I was kind of looking foward to editing today, but things change. I am not 100 percent sure on why the app is not working, because the actual computers are working but the app is not. I am kind of happy that the app is not working because although I was very excited to edit, I am kind of happy we are not editing. I have a headache, and plus I am feeling kind of tired today, but thats besides the point. Once the computers turn back on, I will be ready to edit and put everything together. I am nervous that I might mess something up, but I know some part of my 11 year old self is still in me to guide me in the right direction to edit like a rockstar.
