THIS IS THE YOUTUBE LINK TO QUESTION 6.
NOTES FOR QUESTION 6
TO EDIT ME USED AN IMAC RUNNING THE EDITING
SOFTWARE FINAL CUT EXPRESS.
PROBLEMS
·
COMPLETE NOVICES – NEW PROGRAM
·
TOOK TIME TO GET USED TO THE
LAYOUT AND WHAT ALL THE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS DID.
·
TEACHER HELPED US OUT A LOT AT
THE START. HELPED TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OUR INTENTIONS.
·
FINDING OUT HOW TO PUT TEXT
OVER THE TOP OF SHOTS FOR CREDITS, ALSO IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET USED TO THE
CONTROLS ON HOW TO POSITION THE CREDITS AS WELL BUT THROUGH TIME AND A FAIRLY
LARGE CASE OF TRIAL AND ERROR WE MANAGED TO GET THE TEXT IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
FILMING
·
TO FILM WE USED A NIKON D90
CAMERA
·
HIGH QUALITY CAMERA
·
HOWEVER IT WENT OUT OF FOCUS
FAIRLY EASILY SO WE HAD TO MANUALLY FOCUS AND BE VERY CAREFUL OF THE FOCUS LENS
AND MADE SURE WHEN FILMING WE DIDN’T TOUCH IT UNLESS WE REALLY HAD TO.
·
BATTERY LIFE – MAKE SURE OUR
CAMERA WAS FULLY CHARGED – BATTERY LIFE IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT AS WE FOUND OUT!
CAMERA DIED JUST BEFORE VERY LAST TWO SHOTS. IRRITATING AND HAD TO RE-SHOOT
ANOTHER TIME.
TRIPOD
·
EXCELLENT FOR ENSURING OUR
SHOTS WERE LEVEL AND STABLE.
·
REALLY EASY TO ADJUST HEIGHT –
ANGLE – GREAT FUNCTIONS FOR HELPING US ACHIEVE THE SHOTS WE WANTED.
·
LEARNED THAT IF YOU TIGHTEN UP
TRIPOD TOO MUCH YOU GET A CREAK OF THE PLASTIC AS IT RUBS TOGETHER. MADE
PANNING SHOTS TRICKY, HARDER TO ACHIEVE, NON FLOWING AND JUMPY AND THE CREAK OF
THE PLASTIC WAS PICKED UP BY THE MICROPHONE SO HAD TO RE SHOOT.
OVERALL I HAVE A MUCH BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE
DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES DO AND IN GENERAL A MUCH BROADER KNOWLEDGE OF THE
TECHNOLOGIES THEMSELVES. MAKES ME FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT DOING IT AGAIN AND LEARN
HOW TO USE THE SAME/SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES AND PROGRAMS AGAIN AS THIS TIME ROUND
HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT AND SIMILAR PROGRAMS WILL HAVE/USE SIMILAR CONCEPTS AS
WELL.
