To do this we had to first of all learn how to use the cameras
some of the camera settings that we learned about are:
White balance -Adjusts the brightest part of a scene so it appears white. How a digital camera records color is affected by the source of light
AWB - auto white balance setting
Outside – (sun picture)
Inside – (light bulb picture)
Manual setting
• Set the white balance when you turn on the camera
Manual exposure 1/100
Shutter speed – 1/12 to 1/2000
Aperture/ ins – F stops, brightness of the image
Press the middle button 3 times to access the above settings.
Press left arrow brings up white balance then hit bottom button
How to turn the cameras on and off and how to put the camera onto the tripod safely.
The key things that we needed to remember when filming were that we must keep notes on every shot that we take so that when it comes to editing the film we know easily which shots were the best. ~This meant that we would also need a "clapper board" so that we could tell the shots from one another and see which takes were the best, comparing to the notes that we made. This will make the editing process quicker and easier.
The filming of the video meant that we had to look at the existing video and see what the locations and the shots looked like. we the had to find locations that looked the same or similar to the ones that we're in the shot.
Setting up the shots so that they looked as close as possible to the actual shots wasn't as easy as it looked to be.
There was more planing to the little section we filmed than would be thought.
Each part of the shot had to be looked at, the camera had to be set up and ready to film and the extras and leads had to be ready.
editing the video was the next thing that we had to learn how to do:
Key terms to remember are :
1. Firewire cable – connects the camera to the computer.
2. Scratch disk – the folder on the computer that your footage will be stored in.
3. Editing format – NTSC- America and Asian format = 30 FPS
PAL – European format = 24 FPS
to start with we had to
Turn on the camera and set it to VCR or playback
Put the tape in the camera
Go to ‘final cut pro – in the application folder
In the ‘final cut pro’ menu at the top left
Choose ‘easy set up’ option
‘final cut pro’ menu, ‘systems tab’, click the ‘set’ button
The click ‘movie’ and ok – this is where the footage is to be saved. Save the project
Log and capture
File menu – log and capture option
Click rewind
From the capture window – click play or space bar
Then click the ‘capture menu’ button, press ‘ESC’ on the keyboard to stop the capture process,
Name the clip!!
Keyboard shortcuts that we needed to know are:
- ‘J’ key = rewind
- X2 = double speed
- X3 = triple speed·
- ‘L’ key = fast forward
- X2 = double speed
- X3 = triple speed·
- ‘space bar’ = play/ pause
using the Video Editing software- 'final cut pro'
We used Non-linear editing, this is an editing method that allows you to access any frame in a digital video clip regardless of sequence in the clip.
There are 3 stages of editing, these are :
Assembly edit - this is where the worse clips are deleted
Rough edit - the clips are roughly put together
Final edit - the clips are cut properly and put together in oder of sequence.
