Editing

During todays lesson we learnt the basics of how to edit a video on the eMac. First we uploaded the film from the camera that we shot last lesson to the eMac by importing it. Then to edit it you had to drag and drop the different sections you wanted and then cut the parts of the shot that weren't usuable. Then we added text and the start of the video naming it 'Door are boring to film'. We had a go at adding transitions but felt they weren't needed so left the film as it is.
I found adding the text and transistions quite easy as it was pretty straight forward. However, when it came to the actual cutting of the clips it took me a while to get used to it. Although once the action had been repeated many times I soon got the hang of it. I think I'd enjoy to do filming, however a lot of detail has to go into it, and my key skills might lie more in the photoshop area.

  1. Just like Becky, you'll need to quickly film the over the shoulder sequence for your continuity exercise as without it you fail the preliminary exercise.
