Exams are over!

I sat my last exam a couple of days ago, so I can now focus all my attention on shooting and editing for my music video. I am also going to start thinking about my ancillory texts and take necessary pictures for them while I'm filming. Doing it while I'm filming will keep everything the same and it's also much easier than taking screen shots of my video. The pictures will also be better quality.

January exams

I have 5 A2 January exams this year, and I am currently focusing on revision. This means that for the mean time, I wont be doing a great deal of shooting and editing for my video. I will pick up where I left off after my last exam.

First edit of my music video

The video is not completely finished and hopefully, from the audience feedback from this edit I can see what I need to do to improve.

During my video - filming

I began filming again with an HD SD card camera, which is also much better than the tape camera I was using previously. It is much higher quality, and it also doesn't take as long to upload onto the editing suite!

Disaster!!

I finished all of my filming yesterday for my first draft edit of my video, and then asked the media technician to set me up on an editing suite. As he uploaded the shots from my tape, we discovered that the tape didn't work and all the shots were showing up with black stripes across the screen. I have spoken to my media teacher about this and to rectify the problem, I have to re-shoot all of my video and use an SD card camera instead. I hope to finish filming for next monday - Dec 10th, and my first edit will hopefully be ready by next friday - Dec 15th.
