Thriller Task- Editing

Lesson 12- 4/3/10

In today's lesson we were able to start editing the shots that we had previously filmed on Tuesday. But first we had to capture what we had filmed onto the computer from the tape, whilst capturing we realised that the footage that was playing was blurry and pixelated. This did not look good so we ejected the tape and started again. This did not make a difference and the footage was still not as its best quality. We decided to capture the footage straight from the tape when in the camera that we used. This helped and improved the quality of the footage as the pixels were not blurred. This took a while as we realised that we filmed quite a lot of shots and left the camera recording at times when it wasn't necessarily. We again would used the editing software Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. We saved the clips onto our own 'T drive' that we had been assigned to for this task.

There was over 50 clips that had been captured onto the computer where many of them were needed. Most were attempts of shots that had gone wrong so we recorded again. We went through each clip deleting those that were not needed this would make it easier when editing just with a few clips. When we had completed this we were ready to starting the editing process but the timeline which would help to organise our clips was not present. Unfortunately, this took a while to find as there are many processes on this particular software which made it difficult and time consuming.

Next lesson we will carry on with the editing the clips and add the transitions which are needed. We will also think about the music that we can use and see if any of the footage needs to be re filmed.
