Final Task : Editing

Editing

Editing, finally. After procrastinating filming for so long, i was glad to get started on editing. The editing process went pretty smoothly so im glad to have finished. What i first had originally intended was for me to get filming and editing done in one day. Me and my friend finished filming and after i was too tired to start editing. So the next day i came home from school and immediately started on editing. First thing i did was upload all of my footage that we took to my computer, from there, i uploaded everything to google photos then downloaded the footage from google photos into my phone. The reason i did this was because i edited using imovie. which is an editing software installed on my mobile device. Imovie is easier to use compared to pinnacle studios, the editing software they offer at my school. So thats why i choose to use imovie. I have done my last 2 projects on imovie and they have come out pretty good if i can say so for myself. I will go into detail about editing in my next blog but for now i just want to let you know about the software i used about uploading and downloading such and such. Im glad i finished everything though because the day that we filmed i was stressing over the fact that i wasn’t going to finish but the relief of my finishing was helpful for my mental health. In all honesty, i don’t  know where to upload my finished video and CCR but ill eventually ask my aice media teacher and figure it out. But yeah to wrap this all up, im really glad i finished this project and the editing aoftware in my school sucks, Ill talk to you more in the next blog.  Lucas Out

Final Task : Filming Finally Done

Filming

I finally got my filming done, after everybody cancelled on me last minute, i managed to get it done. Filming was a not so fun process due to the fact that everybody was cancelling on me and i was stressed that i was not going to be able to finish. Eventually i got one of my friends who wasn’t on the part of the participants to help me out because everybody cancelled on me. But i managed to do it. My friend came over to my house and we filmed all of our necessary scenes. The hardest part was to get all the scenes done exactly how i had it in my head. I showed my friend the script and told him how i want everything and in the end i think it came out pretty good. My friend actually helped me out so much with a lot of the scenes that i should give him credit for director lol. He gave me ideas and we basically shared the whole experience of the movie. After me reviewing the footage, we didn’t end up recording 2 minutes worth of useable footage. we ended up only using about 1:30 minutes of useable footage that will be featured in the film. The other time we have will be used for titles. I didn’t want to ruin the movie with titles on the actual scenes so i sacrificed some time for titles instead of making a longer scene. Over all, filming was a good process which im happy to have finished finally. I uploaded a photo of me during the actual filming progress. One of the things that i was upset about was the fact that the camera given to me by the school did not work. I was disappointed about this but im glad to have a camera at home. But if i didnt have any other camera, that wouldve been my last weekend to film and wouldnt have had a camera to film on so im disappointed at the schools cheap technology.
