Editing Process, Day 1:

Completed by: Me

On 5/12/11, we began editing! So, Nicola, Chloe and I created a video blog about what we are up to in our media lesson and what our process is during editing. We wanted to try a new type of technology whilst blogging which is why I came up with this idea. Alternatively, we did aim to make it realistic and entertaining, in order for it to not look so plain and script read, meaning had spoken from our own knowledge


This blog gives an update on what we are up to:




Software used:

• Final Cut

What did we do today?

• During today's double lesson, we uploaded the video from the camera onto the imac using a fire wire cable, opening the contents of what we have filmed onto Final Cut Pro which enabled us to cut shots, putting them in the correct order etc
• This followed on to cutting certain parts of the clips which were irrelevant and putting them together. Overall, this is was we did throughout the 2 hour lesson.

What will we do next lesson?

• Finish cutting the scenes
• Download the music 'Dead Silence'
• Begin to create the credits

Conclusion:

I feel this was a very successful way of blogging as its quick, easy and portrays a simply understanding of what we are producing. Believe it or not, it took us 21 times to achieve the final video which was suitable to post, as during the interrupted shots were heavy background noise, we were all too shy in certain shots etc.
Overall, during today's process i feel that it went very well and i enjoyed learning how to use various types of software's, however, it did become stressful during the day because we kept loosing relevant shots, which then we had to re-upload. Although, i feel like this was because it was a new software we started using, and we now know how to use it for next lesson, so we can develop and improve what we have already created, adding, tint, sound effects credits, voice over etc.

Here we are cutting down each scenes.
