Today we began to film a rough version of the films to practice using the cameras and so students could learn how to edit.
Firstly, students were reminded how to use the cameras properly and safely. They learned about opening the tripod legs and making it level and how to attach the camera so it doesn't fall off. Also they learned about how to move it from one location to the next safely so it doesn't get damaged or hit anything on its way.
They learned about how to film so that there is enough room at the start and end of a shot to edit.
When filming, they practised the acting and how to light people effectively using natural light, such as how to create a silhouette effect to disguise the person's identity.
They then began to learn how to edit using Final Cut Express on the Apple Mac computers. They learned about how to connect the camera using a fire wire cable and how to capture the footage ready for editing. They then learned about putting in and out points on a section and dragging it to the timeline. Some used a razor tool to make cuts in the footage, separate the image from the soundtrack and put a new image in, leaving the sound there so it acts as a voice over.
