Preliminary task- Filming and editing

More filming and editing 


During this morning's media lesson we decided to film the last few shots required for our preliminary video, so that we could then make a start on editing the footage. Therefore Izzy, Abi and I changed into our costume's and started to film. After spending the first 30 minutes of the lesson doing this, we then went back into the classroom and uploaded our footage from the SD card onto the computer and imported all the files into the editing software program, Adobe Premier Pro. Although at the start of this process we found the importing to be fairly difficult as we weren't used to the new computers in which our school has provided and therefore finding out how to import the footage took a while for us to understand.

After we got used to the new computer we finally managed to import the footage onto the software. We then inserted each individual piece of footage on the software's timeline, in chronological order, so that we were in sync with the official music video, which was visible at the bottom right hand corner of our footage. However due to the official music video using a split screen that showed two different sets of footage at the same time, we found it difficult to do this to our own footage. Although this problem was soon resolved due to our media teacher informing us on how to do this. In addition, after this stage we used the 'razor' tool and started to crop down the footage if it had a duration that was too long and then ensured that our footage was in sync with the official video. Therefore we then inserted the transitions between each individual shot and applied a black and white filter over the required shots.
