Editing the Preliminary Task Film - Lesson 2.

In today's lesson we carried on with the editing. Amie and I sorted out the clips into the right order but one of our clips was corrupted. So, even though it failed the last time, we decided to recapture it off of the tape as our actor was unavailable for filming. This worked and we had a clear picture for the start of our film and put it together with the rest of the film.
We then filmed our match on action shot of the chair swinging round. I filmed this part, Amie directed and Aidan provided us with the hands for the shot as the actor, Jake, wasn't available so we had to improvise.
We then filmed a part from a lower down angle showing the feet swinging around onto the chair as the character in our short film sat down. Amie filmed this shot, I directed and Aidan's feet were used in this part of the film.
When we recaptured this off of the tape onto the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 software, there were a few problems with corrupted captures, but because we filmed the chair swinging around in both shots; when we were editing we cut one shot and made it flow into the next which created an effective, smooth look and got rid of the corrupted parts. After placing them into the correct place we turned these clips black and white and set our contrast on the shots to match the rest of the film and checked it over to see if everything was ok, i.e. the audio and the clips.
