Feedback:

So after we converted the file format to quick movie from Final Cut, Tayla went home and uploaded the video onto youtube. After she had uploaded it onto youtube, we realised there was somehow 4 extra minutes to our video which just consisted of a black screen - trouble again.


So we were debating whether or not to just keep it or cut it at school tomorrow as none of our laptops had Final Cut, so none of us could have cut out the extra 4 minutes...

I tried opening the Final Cut file using iMovie and surprisingly it worked, which was a relief! I then just cut away the extra 4 minute scenes, and uploaded the film sequence straight onto youtube from iMovie.

Sorry for the lack of updates recently! Anyway, here is a video of the animatics that we created a while ago, which I completely forgot to upload...

Final days of editing:

Work completed individually:

As days were quickly passing by, we had to finish editing ASAP and it was just our luck that Final Cut decided not to let us record a voiceover into our video, so we tried a lot of times before somehow it miraculously worked. 

Applications we used:

• Final Cut

What we did:

• For one of the days, I finished up the credits using LiveType, whilst Tayla and Chloe were cutting the music to piece it into our final piece opening sequence - they were cutting the music straight from Final Cut. 
• Then, we decided to do the voice over, which was the last thing to do for the editing part and which was also where the trouble started again. Anyhow, it was also resolved last minute, and the voice over was completed! 

Conclusion:

• I am so glad that we have finally finished editing our opening sequence! I am looking forward to seeing comments from others and guidance which will hopefully help me in the future if I was to film again.

Editing day two and three:

Work completed individually: 


For days two and three, we were still in the process of editing our two minute video. 


Applications used: 

• Final Cut
• Live Type 

What we did:

• Basically, for the first double lesson, we edited the video, cutting out scenes we didn't want - it was pretty much the same process as the first day.
• For the second lesson, I decided to use Live Type - to create the credits on it, I was just experimenting around with it and just seeing what kind of texts the app had. 
• After playing around with Live Type, I started to create the film title, which included a moving background and interactive texts, which created a nice effect for the film, as this would be eye catching for the audience when watching the film, and not feel bored whilst certain scenes such as the EST shots run through, which can be quite long.
• Whilst I was creation the credits on Live Type, Chloe and Tayla were tinting the shots we have filmed as we have together agreed that the atmosphere of the film was quite happy as the lighting in the shots we filmed was quite bright and sunny. 

Conclusion:

• Considering we only have Wednesday left, we need to try and finish up editing ASAP and in our spare time, do some more editing - Chloe and I went back to the macs suite when we had a free lesson, and imported the Live Type that I had created earlier into our film, we had to change the formatting to an AVI as Final Cut could not read Quickplayer.

Editing day one:

Work completed individually


5/12/11

Basically, for the double period we had, we started to edit using final cut on the macs, I had brought in my laptop for editing using iMovie as I was more familiar with that application in contrast to Final Cut. However, my laptop didn't have the firewire cable connector, so we had to connect it to the school's macs instead.

What we did? 

• Firstly, we connected the video camera into the macs using a firewire cable, and then opened up Final Cut and imported the video into the application. We then rendered the video. 
• Well, the whole process of editing today just consisted of cutting out some scenes and putting the shots into an order we wanted them to be in. 

Conclusion: 

• Editing was actually quite stressful but it was also fun at the same time. It was stressful because we kept losing some scenes, and when we did retrieve the scenes, we was not able to render. It was fun though, because we were able to see what we filmed, and cut out scenes we didn't want.

We haven't actually finished editing the video yet, so I'll update the next time we edit!
