Week 4

Wow I forgot how annoying it is when poducing media doesn’t go the way you plan. Usually i’m adaptable in that situation but with the limitations for the video excercise there was only a small number of ways of gettin it right.

Final cut pro is new to me. Editing film is new to me. Filming is new to me.

Filming was interesting, it would have been fun if the weather had been better and there would have been more diverse people willing to be filmed but oh well. Unfortunately i had a few dramas where a lot of my footage did not work so i was limited to my footage of uni students and just fell short of the 1 minute by 2 or 3 seconds. I worked around it as well as i could. But there are still some weird problems in my movie which i hope to be rid of by next week.

I had a lot of help because of my inexperience with this. Julia Tan helped out with filming a lot. Matt tried to help out with technical problems in editing but luckily the tech support lady fixed it as much as it could be fixed. Despite all the problems it was a great learning experience and it’s still going so i’m still learning so it will help even more when i’m going to be working on the final video. Hopefully by then i’ll get a better tape.

Apart from the video assignment i found working on html fun. Probably because it was familiar territory and the software wasn’t too difficult to get the hang of. And its always fun when things work the first time which my bit did. Can’t wait to get creative with it though with CSS.

So yeh…
