09/02/11 Media lesson

BEFORE TODAY'S LESSON WE HAD:

Filmed footage for advert 1
Filmed footage for advert 2
Uploaded the footage
Took away footage that wasn't needed for advert 1
Started again - re-uploaded footage

Everything is going really well at the moment. We are working effectively as a group and trying to get as much done in a lesson as possible.

TODAY'S LESSON:

In today's lesson we were cutting away all of the footage from the tape that we didn't need. This took a while because there was so much footage and lots that we didn't need. We had to re-upload the footage because we were trying to cut away footage a different, much harder way. We were advised to do it again and we also thought it would be better for us and allow us to progress quicker.
We discussed which order we thought that the footage should go in. It doesn't follow the storyboard exactly because our ideas have progressed since then and when we were filming for the footage it was hard to stick to the storyboard because everybody was coming up with really good ideas. So we ordered all of the footage once we had agreed on where it should go for advert 1 so that we can begin doing our transitions and stuff on it next lesson.
People that weren't using the computer to edit were discussing ideas for the audio to put over the advert. A small amount of research was also done on this.

NEXT LESSON WE NEED TO:

-Discuss whether we are going to have a voice over and if so, get that organised.
-Get rid of even more footage from advert 1 that we don't need.
-Begin editing parts of the footage in ways that it's going to look best and decide where that is going to go because it might effect the order of the advert.
-Try and cut our footage down to 1 minute - if not, shorter! (Eventually it will be 30 seconds)
