During my AICE Media Studies class on February 21st, I began editing what we had filmed for the final task project. Since this was now our third project that we were doing in class, I felt confident that editing would go smoothly. I checked the camera and tripod in at the beginning of class and asked the teacher for a SD card reader. I used the SD card reader to connect the SD card that had all the footage on it. From there, I moved it all onto the computer and spent a while picking the ones that I felt were good enough to use. I also wrote a list of each scene that would need to be redone. This ensured that I wouldn’t forget to redo any scenes. After that was finished, I opened up the editing software that we use, Pinnacle Studio. Having had issues in the past, I allowed the software plenty of time to start up as it always took quite a while. Once open, I moved each piece of footage into the software and organized them from first to last. I started with cutting out anything that was not needed in order to fit the movie within the allotted time. From there, I continued to edit with my group mates for the remainder of the period.
On February 23rd, I had planned to film again with my group mates in order to finish all the filming so that we had plenty of time to edit. One of the actors wasn’t available so we divided we would just film the scenes where the one actor was alone. We met up at our first location and began filming right away. As one of the camera women, I took turns filming with the other camera women. I also directed the scenes, changing small things that made the footage look better. We were able to finish all of the actors scenes where they were alone and had some time to begin reviewing the footage before we all left. Overall, I enjoyed filming the scenes. Especially since there were no issues.
