Preliminary task evaluation and final video


After 1 hour planning, about 30 minutes filming and a good few hours editing we ended up with quite a good piece of work!

We decided to film in our school's english corridor, as it was convenient at the time and all we needed was a free classroom, as i said before this took us about 30 minutes and we were surprisingly very efficient when filming.

We then went back to the classroom and uploaded the footage onto our apple mac's which are provided by the school. We then was introduced to the software Final cut express by our teacher Mr. Titheridge. We used final cut for lots of things such as cutting clips, adding transactions between clips, importing music from garageband and importing credits from livetype. I must admit, originally we needed alot of help from our teacher as the software is quite complex but after a couple of lessons we were able to finish our task.

Overall our task was alot easier than we first imagined although we did struggle with the editing part of the task quite alot but eventually we ended up with a solid piece of work. I believe we worked well as a group for the first time and our final piece shows we understood and were able to execute effective continuity editing. The task also helped us alot for our main project as we learnt different transactions and the "ins and outs" of Garageband, Final Cut Express and Livetype.
