Film blog

Today in class, we started filming. Filming is the process where people who want to make a film will get their media. This is done with cameras. We started the day by getting our cameras, SD card, tripod, and other camera equipment. We headed out of class and to our filming location, which was the senior patio. We chose this spot because of he natural lighting, and that it creates the scene that we were trying to make. After we got to our location, we didn’t waste any time and got strait to making the scene. We had brought outfits and props to make the scene come to life.

We filmed for about 50 minutes. It actually went very smoothly, with us getting all of the shots we wanted. We did run into some difficulty throughout the filming process. We had to take many shots of the same scene, because of controllable and uncontrollable factors. All in all, we finished filming on time, got back to class and started to do our dumping. It took awhile for us to find an SD card reader. This is what we needed to use in order to dump. We put our SD card in the reader, and plugged it into the computer. The SD card had a USB plug in so it was easy plugging it into the computer.

The dumping process was simple and easy.  Dumping is the simple word for bringing your media from one place to another. In this case, our media went from the SD card to the computer. I also made sure to put it on a flash drive in case we lost the one that is on the computer. I also started editing a little bit in another class using a software called adobe premiere pro. I imported all of the media from my flash drive to the computer. I only had time to just put some of the clips in order.Next class, we plan on finishing the editing process.we will be using a software called pinnacle studio. I hope that using two different softwares will not affect it in any way. We will be putting the rest of the clips in order. We will also be putting transitions. If we have time, we will add text. We will also add sound effects and music.
