Editing blog

Today our Aice media studies teacher taught us how to do many new things. First we learned how to get and operate a camera and it’s items that come along with it. What we have to do first is grab a sheet of paper and fill it out to. We fill it out to get our camera to use for our film. We have to slide the card into the slot in the camera to start filming. There is a tripod we can use too and on our camera we have a little hole so we can fit the camera in the tripod. On the forms we fill out, we have to put the number on our camera and other equipment on the form. This is because the teacher needs to know what camera and equipment I’m taking. We have to bring the form back the next day as well as the equipment or else we will be in big trouble. Then when we are done filming, we have to report back to class before the period ends.

When we finish recording, we have to put our shots and takes onto our computer. First we have to take the std card out of the computer. Second we take the ssd card and put it into a usb drive. We take that usb drive and put into the computer. You take all the videos and put it into the computer all at once. You would want to have a file on your computer to make it easier for you. You should name that file Aice media studies (then the film you are making). Then we go to pinnacle studios and insert our footage. You hit import in the top right corner and then hit the plus to the side of desktop. Then go to the file you had and then insert.

There were many editing tools we had to choose from. To start we had to select the videos and drag them down to the bar. Then you could do pretty much anything. You can add transitions by right clicking and then adding them. You can add text by hitting the capital T. You can crop things out and navigate by using the upside down triangle and red line. You can view what you did at any time because of the big window in the the top right corner. What you have to do to view is hit the space button or the play button and watch. You can add music in a scene or mute it completely. All of these tools I can see myself using in my films.
