YouTube

This lesson we uploaded the final cut of our trailer on to YouTube. This is a good way to get feedback from people outside the class. When we posted it up we realised that there was a problem with the sound and that the song that we have playing in the background had not kept the editing changes at the end of the song which had faded it out and cut it at just over 2 minutes. This means that before we embed it on to Facebook for extra feedback from our friends we will need to make sure we correct that error.

Captions

During the time that we have been editing our video, I have been coming up with the captions to add to our Trailer. We decided on the captions instead of voice overs as it wasnt fitting on our video. The captions give the story line and the characters names in the course of our trailer. This has made me learn more about Photoshop and been usefull for future use.

Here is an example of the caption

Rough Cut

This afternoon we are preparing to show our rough cut to the class. This is a great opportunity for recieving feedback, both positive and negative to help us make the final adjustments to the film. However there is still around 15 seconds of footage missing because the person that we needed for filming had other commitments and was unavailable for filming, so we will need to put that in in our spare time. At the moment it stands at 1:45mins so we are very happy with the progress.

Plans After The Holidays

Before the holidays we were landed with a large covering of snow that prevented us from filming outside if we wanted to keep the continuity. Now that we are back at school we have made plans to film this week to get our final footage and complete the editing before the deadline on Friday.
