Editing

   So very sadly and also unfortunately the computers were down and not working the past two days we were suppose to edit.  Our computers are from 2008 they have a lot of problems.  We have been asking the administration to get us new computers and equipment but they are so cheap.  All of the computers are crusty and very slow and it makes it extremely hard to get work done in class.  Also the computers cannot connect to Wi-Fi all of the time so we can’t access Internet during class either.  Since this happens it makes working in class and getting our commercial done extremely hard and a lot more difficult.  So the Pinnacle studios wasn’t allowing us to edit and it was making it hard to even save our clips that we were trying to work on.  The computer is also didn’t allow us to save any of our clips or work that we had done so the second day we had to restart all over again which happened again today.  Our teacher told us to put everything in the Google drive and we will get laptops next week so hopefully we can start working on editing our commercials.  This entire process has been very frustrating and aggravating because we were going on such a good role and had a ton of momentum and then it all just got shut down.  As a student I wish there was more I could do to try and get this solved and get new computers and the stops put in the class but I don’t have that type of money and neither does the school. Me and some of my other classmates have sat down and discussed ways that we can raise money for the program.  I am thinking of doing a fundraiser to build money in support of the computers.  Being it will be a nonprofit and will be totally benefited to the school and helping our fellow classmates it should be very easy to collect enough money to get at least some computers installed.  I’m really hoping this comes through and we follow through with that plan and make it a success.  Because not only will it benefit us but it will benefit tons of students that will come later than us for the next couple years.  The better the computer is the longer it last so hopefully once we raise some money we can buy very well made computers that are a little bit more expensive but it will be more worth it in the end.  You only get what you put in so if we pay for cheap computers they’re going to break down and not work and last long.  I have already reached out to the principles about this situation.  Every time somebody reaches out they usually take a couple days to get back to you but it’s understandable because of how busy they are and how much work left to do so I’ll give them about a couple days and hopefully I will hear back from them.  For now just gonna keep my fingers crossed that we get laptops this following week and can start editing.
