Preliminary Task-Editing
Today, my group and I decided to edit our Preliminary Task. On the day of filming, I had imported the footage onto a shared file on a school computer in our media room, to avoid someone else accidentally deleting the footage off the camera SD card.
Will started by opening Adobe Premier Pro, which is the software we use for editing. He then put the footage into chronological order and added the audio track to enable the matching of the video and song. This was made easier by inserting the actual video in the bottom corner, so that we could match each shot exactly. Then, Amy began to trim the footage using the razor tool to allow each shot to fit with the original music video, as this is what we were aiming to re-create.
On editing, my group and I realised that naturally, we had missed out parts of footage when filming as we didn't film in a chronological order. For this reason, I have learnt from this task that for my final project, I should film in chronological order so I don't miss out any footage. Anyway, this was easily resolved as we just had to re-film the parts we had missed. One problem we discovered was that we were all in different outfits to the ones we wore on Thursday. However, as a group we decided this didn't matter too much, because there are so many characters in our extract, that it would just look like we had more characters. But, if this had been a video including a boy band, we wouldn't have gotten away with it.
After filming the shots we originally missed, we were able to add these into our music video. I did this, by trimming the footage, inserting it into the gaps and matching the song to our lip syncing. I then rendered the entire footage, checked that the footage matched and then exported our footage so that it was in a suitable file format for YouTube. We had a very productive day, as our footage has now been uploaded to YouTube.
