Second pratice video

Today’s lesson we were given the whole double lesson to film and edit our video. The first half of the lesson had to show Mary our storyboard and if it had enough shots she would allow us to get the camera and begin to filming.

At the beginning of the lesson I was confused as what to do due to the fact I wasn’t in for the previous lesson. Though I quickly caught on to what we had to do from Zeneaths explanation. We begun to film and I was acting within the film and so was Zeneath acting and working on the camera at the same time with Nicole when she was not needed within the shots. Our story had changed slightly from what it was due to the fact we was missing a member of the group, which came up with the story. So we decided just have someone walking into the room and going to sit down and talk to the other person at the table. I also helped the group out by helping to position the camera in certain place to make the shots look good, though we may have took longer than we had anticipated, none the less we finished and move onto editing after break.

After break we took our camera plugged it into the Mac and was given our hard drive which also needed to be plugged into the Mac. We each took turns in trying to editing the clips and arranging the clips to make sense. We all found it a bit difficult due to the fact we was new to match cutting. It was hard to get the clips to fit together nicely, and have the sound fit with the different cuts. Even though it ran into lunch break we was determined to finish it and we did finish half way through lunch which made our video look rather good. Once the video had been edited together we then had to convert the video in mp4 format that was enough to fit onto blogger.com, we used final cut pro to convert the video to mp4 format then, turned the video into Vimeo so that it could be uploaded to blogger.com.
